Customer Reviews

This is so thick it prevents a SAFE installation
I am a professional car seat installer, and every time a parent comes to me with one of these, I have to work extra hard to get the seat installed properly. Then usually I don't feel that the seat is installed tightly enough, and have to take it out. I much, much prefer, and always recommend the Original Prince Lionheart Seat Saver (or nothing at all, is safest), because it is thin enough not to interfere with a proper installation. Remember that up to 99% of seats are installed and/or used incorrectly, and that Amazon reviewers are not necessarily the top 1%, so don't believe everything you read about "great installations" when it comes to untested and possibly dangerous aftermarket products such as these.
If you really want to protect your upholstery, don't buy car seats with sharp bottoms! And further, most dents pop pop out, and spills can be wiped up, so don't waste money on these things, especially if your car seat manual doesn't specifically approve their use.

This is Great - "Pros" Are Afraid of Lawsuits!
This protector does the job on preventing dents in leather seats.

Remember that these days any type of professional is afraid of a lawsuit, and do not want to use any type of aftermarket product that could interfere with their "professional" installation. That is why no one will approve these mats, or even cupholders on strollers anymore!!!

As a carseat safety fanatic, and being pretty educated on carseat installations I felt confident that I could make a decision if this was inhibiting a proper installation. I see no problems. To be sure the carseat is strapped in super tight, I sit in it as I pull the straps. It doesn't budge one centimeter left or right, or front to back.

This saver was easy to put in the car, and did not need to be adjusted a million times as I tightened in the carseat using LATCH & tether (we use the Britax Marathon). A previous saver bunched and made installation impossible, but this one is very thin, firm and stays put. The add on back was the perfect height, and did not block the tether strap in our F150. It also stayed upright as I put the carseat into place.

This blends in nicely with our black seats and looks good. It's available in three colors - black, tan, and grey. Let's face it - if you're interested in this product it's because you care how things will look long term!

This saver is a great combo of safety and function. While it may not perform perfectly with every single carseat/car combination - if your seat is moving more than an inch in any direction it's not installed correctly whether you are using seat saver or not!

great product
firstly whoever said in their review that this item was "not recommended by public safety officials" and then instead recommended a "rug pad" is giving false information. I have had seats with this exact protector in for a checkup and both times the inspector thought this item was an "excellent addition" and would actually help keep the seat in place by reducing the seat sag and upolstery stretching which happens without it! A rug pad is a silly suggestion.

If you know anything about infant seats and boosters you know your seat is not held in any way, shape, or form by friction from the base, but by the belts and latches. you could oil yuor leather seats and it wouldn't harm the car seat's safety. what does harm your car seat safety is loosing of the belts caused by slow crushing of the cars' seat bolstering and this prevents it more than a towel or a "rug pad"!

now onto the utility. this protector is the only one we have seen or used that is firm enough to reduce permanent depressions in a the car's seat and with a lip that does a good job at catching liquid and crumbs. If you have several messy kids you are better off getting a custom $150 to $250 washable full cover. Short of that, this item is affordable, offers great protection and is easy to use. it works great on benches or buckets.

Lastly a "rug pad" is a very uninformed suggestion. rug pads bleed color. sounds like a good way to stain your seats over time.
