Interior protection from Child'S car seat


Recommended Posts

As a few others have noted, you should be very careful on what you put down underneath the car seat. I would be very hesitant to use a towel or anything that could cause the car seat to shift during an accident. The link above is similar to what I used in my tahoe and on the back side was a rubber surface that didn't allow it to shift on the seat, but I want to say that once I cinched down the car seat, it still left slight indentations in the seats.

Those indentions do go away after a week or two.

Just do yourself a favor and get rid of the kids. Problem solved.

Man, ain't that the truth. lmao

 

However, I have too much time and money invested in mine to get rid of them now. Especially with the oldest almost ready to start cutting the grass.

Child seats have evolved over the years. Maximum effectiveness is achieved by proper installation. When our grand children started visiting I went for a lesson on proper car seat installation offered through our insurance company. I would confirm that it is acceptable to put a barrier between the base and your upholstery. Billy346's wife has done her homework. I only have car seats in my truck for a week or so at a time (at the most) and no evidence is left on my leather after a good cleaning! I suspect that a quality car seat installed year-round will not do permanent damage to your truck. Even if it did, I doubt evidence of a car seat will depreciate resale!
I agree. I've had kids in car seats since 2010, and leather seats in GM cars for every single one of them. My wife and I will remove the seats to wash their coverings occasionally. We've never had an issue with permanent indentation or tearing. Foods sticking to the seats and falling into crevices is another issue, and I find the food falling to the storage area under the seat to be worse in the truck. The only reason I would use a seat cover is to catch crumbs and spills. The biggest offender of the messes is my 6 year old son. My 2 year old daughter seems to be the cleanest because he safety seat catches most messes. With that said, the seat cover I recommend is GM Part # 19367173. GM also offers this in grey and brown.
