Rear seat protector - leather seats

Help needed ..... again!

Looking at the various options for a rear seat cover to protect the leather from marks caused by the child booster seats that occasionally go in the car but notice that they all say 'not suitable for leather seats'.

Anybody know of one that it?

Cheers
John

I use a folded blanket or towel, I also check the seat has no sharp edges (and dress them with a file if sharp)

Don't have kids, but I keep a couple of white bath towels (don't use coloured) in the boot which I use whenever needed for protection. (in Australia bought a few from Vinnies & lifeline for $2 - 3 each)

These towel are also great for soaking up carpet stains caused by bloody tenants! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

..... ink, nail varnish & wine stains etc..... as far as I am aware! But nothing would surprise me!!! If the car seats were made out of solution died nylon you can pour bleach straight on the material & industrial cleaners etc. I don't see the point of leather, also from the third degree burns one can get in summer.


Previous car had fabric seats. I cleaned them every few years with dishing washing detergent and hot water then soaked up the dirt with towels. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Towels would be the cheap option - however the more stylish option would be something from like...
Melville and Moon and escapegear

Speaking of "grown" up children in the front?

We had a 6 week holiday driving around NSW. Rain, dust, dirt & by far worst of all, eating in the car in wet weather..... I had bought a pair of LR front seat covers when I bought the new car. We debated putting then on, but did in the end. Best thing we did. The crap over those 6 weeks was pretty frightening, on par with kids in the back. The situation made worse due to modern cars having no places to sit anything due to safety!

Rubber floor mats, seat covers & "disposable" towels on seats are as valuable as a Magpie (Australian Magpie) singing in the morning!

I have a pair of Diono Ultra Mat seat protectors for when I put the grandkids' child seats on my nice leather upholstery. They are not cheap but well worth it if you have leather seats and don't want to leave permanent dents where the seats have dug in. They have non slip top and bottom and contain panels of high density foam to protect the seat. One stockist is Amazon.
I also have kick mats which attach to the back of the front seats to protect from their dear little muddy shoes!! Twisted Evil 1982 RR Classic-converted to 200TDi-gone
