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.

Our carseat safety inspector advised against using this, even though we have a Britax carseat, stating that it was too bulky and not sized to fit properly. It would be similar to buckling in a child wearing a thick winter coat because it prevents the straps from being tightened sufficiently. She recommended rolling up receiving blankets and using those for support if needed.

I would recommend no because Britax crash tested this specific seat protector for Britax car seats not any other model. If you were in an accident and you used different car seat accessory than the ones made by your car seat manufacturer, your car seat could fail in a crash. Also, if your car seat was to malfunction and you wanted to take legal action you wouldn't be able to because you used parts not approved by your car seat manufacturer. This also would void your Graco warranty. Do I think any of this would happen? Who knows? Just giving you the information I learned as a car seat tech.

If the arms are cushioned fabric and you remove it after a long time, there are indents in the cushion, but these eventually go away over time. That happened to mine when I switched'it to another chair. However, this could easily be prevented by wrapping something around the fabric arms before attaching the device. The indentations definitely did go away after awhile.

I used Britax convertibles with both of my kids from birth just because infant seats are not safe! They were fine and my children were not big(my daughter was 6lbs 11oz and my son came home 4lbs 12oz-he was 3lbs7oz at birth). We have the new advocate for the upcoming baby ;-) The advocate even has an "infant insert" that can be purchased to improve the fit. Yes, they look small in the seat, but it does not affect the safety of the seat-at all. Think about this, a piece of plastic that goes through constant stress of in and out of the car(we have a materials engineer in the family and he was very adamant about it not being safe-too much stress on plastic). The studies about this have been buried time and time again, but there is some evidence if you search the net. Unfortunately, we were hit by a drunk driver when my daughter was only 4 mos, she was just fine in her Britax seat! When my son was 9 mos, our Corolla was sideswiped by a semi-truck, both kids were fine(they slept through it), my son in his convertible, my daughter in her Britax booster. We drive A LOT(40k miles a year) and I have never felt uncomfortable with the convertibles from birth and after our second accident we were told by the investigating officer that the Britax saved my son major injuries! I think you will be just fine going with the convertible from day one, we were and ours were "tested."

I had that same issue and struggled to try to attach it and never did get it on the way it should be; but I did get some nasty looking scraps on my hands from the metal under the seat. I left it as I positioned it and the cover has stayed on okay. I hope this helps.

Mine has held up fine so far. I don't use it daily and I have it covering cloth seats. Might be different with leather.

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.

My car seat is fabric, not leather. It stays well on the fabric (I have a 83 lbs boxer, he never sits still during the rides, either).

After you get the back fabric support on, there are two tiny holes in the metal that you're supposed to screw through the fabric and into. I did NOT do this for two reasons: I was worried about tearing the fabric and I wanted to be able to take that back piece off to wash if I needed to. I've used the seats for a year (probably 20x) without the screws.

I have had mine for over a month and haven't had that problem. I've had the sides tear on the plastic ones, but these are more cloth like. Love them!

I have leather seats and although they were not pristine to start with I didn't notice scuffing. If you are really concerned, and have really nice seats, putting some sort of felt or flannel material on the seat-bed underneath would probably work. FYI the back side of the hammock also has somewhat of a waterproof lining on it that cracks and flakes overtime. I used my hammock for about four years and washed it a number of times though.

Our son sweat a lot in his Britax B-Safe infant seat, but we have had this seat for about 9 months and haven't noticed any issues.

mine is scratched up and worn out in less than a year...I really wish they would make this with a plastic adult seat. I complained and they sent another, but same thing. I even used gentle baby shampoo to see if it was the lysol wipes I was using causing the problem. I love the function of the seat. It's the BEST. But replacing them after not even a year of use, is not great.

I don't know, but I have the Britax car seat. The cover is loose enough that when there's a strong gust of wind, it flips it over; but it stays put for the most part. There's a strong chemically smell when I first got the cover. I let it air out for the couple of days and the smell went away completely.

Hello, No sad face! Turn that frown upside down :) . We actually have a new model, the Twin Roo Plus and it will certainly adapt to Britax/Bob B-Safe car seats. Please note that the car seat adapters are sold separately for that item. Thanks!

I'm sorry I don't know. I purchased this carseat and was very happy with it. You could probably return it if it doesn't fie. Good luck
