Britax car seat indent damage: Has anyone had a problem of this car seat ripping the cloth?

Try the "Sunshine Kids Ultra-Mat Ulimate 2-Part Undermat Car Seat Mat" or the "DuoMat 2-in-1 Car Seat and Mat by Kiddopotamus" Look for padded bottom and seat cover, so that it can be used rearfacing and forward facing. Either way they protect well. Skip the ones that only cover the seat because your child will kick the cloth and it won't be protected.

I was told by a thrift shop owner NOT TO BUY a used car seat under any condition. you don't know if it was in an accident!! made a lot of sense. only buy a NEW car seat because the rules and protective knowledge is improving every day. the thrift shop own was very strong not to buy any car seat used or recycled. so it makes sense, buy new. your baby is more important than money. Grace co didn't work for our car. we were unhappy to use a rolled up towel, as suggested in directions, to steady the seat! really.

It actually is the car seat as I also have the same problem.... :( We have another car seat in our other vehicle which does not have this issue.

Damon,We have leather seats as well, this seat guard is heavy rubberized plastic. It prevents the indents left by the car seat and makes the seat immobile. We are happy with this purchase.

I have had no problems with the car seat. We drive a 2007 GMC Sierra and 2014 Ford Edge. Hope this helps. LB

I used the Jolly Jumper Arctic with the Britax B-Agile car seat. It was fine for the first few months (my son was 3 months old when we first used it - a lifesaver), but by the time he was around 6 months, he was getting a little big to get in and out of the little opening without the cover popping off. By that time, I just put him into the seat and reinserted the cover. I recommend this cover over the JJCole (which I also owned, that went under and over him). I liked that this completely sealed him in the cold outdoors. With the JJ Cole, his head is exposed to the cold and the straps on the car seat got snug because of the blanket underneath him.

I agree with a previous response, that you really have to press down hard to get the two pieces together. It shouldn't be a problem after that. Honestly, I don't remember it being too much of an issue. We popped it together and put it in the car, and haven't had the need to touch it since. Britax is nothing short of awesome when it comes to returns/replacements/etc...so if you don't think it's right, don't use it. Call them and ask for another one or whatever you feel best doing. Good luck!

I don't know exactly what type of car leather you have but we use these in two different cars: one with leatherette seats and the other with leather seats and I have not seen any damage. We have four total. We use one in each car for an infant and also one in each car for a two year old so we've had them in the cars for over two years now.

I've used this for about 2 months and don't have any damage to leather. We are using a toddler car seat if that matters.

we got the black and used it through one summer without problems regarding it being too hot. the black material is softer feeling and seems like it would be pleasant to lean your head against. My son had no problems with comfort in this seat. HOWEVER if your child is tall, I would highly recommend not getting a Britax seat because the headrest is not reinforced, meaning that when your child's head is 1" from the top of the SHELL of the seat (NOT including the headrest), he/she is too tall to ride rear-facing. This typically happens when the child is wearing size 3T. Just wanted to mention that in case it saves you the trouble we went through. we got the black and used it through one summer without problems regarding it being too hot. the black material is softer feeling and seems like it would be pleasant to lean your head against.

These car seats are in my teenagers car. I have had them for over a year and they have not ripped. My husband said the stitching is not very the best. I have no complaints with them since they have not ripped with a teenager and her friends. They still look great as of today.

Hello, I have purchased 2 sets. I put them over cloth/velour seats to protect them. I'm sold!

I have not had a problem with the kid seat at all. It comes off, which is good. But it's not like it comes off so easily that a kid sits on it and it comes off. I would defiantly recommend this seat, you'll be happy you did. Much easier to care for then the other options.

It has a netting underneath so the most you would have is that indented for a bit. This is a GREAT liquid catcher though. I have a 3 year old who drops things all the time and never gotten on my off-white seats. As for a long time dent, I dont think so. Hope this helps.

To the reviewers below, it does have a direct impact on how your car-seat reacts in a crash! RESEARCH before you rattle off silly answers. The seller should list which, if any, car seats this has been tested with and approved for or you will VOID your warranty and place your child in possible danger. Best thing to do is contact your car seat maker and ask. Usually they have one specifically for their car seats THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED.
