Elite Seat Guardian Car Seat Protector

We are currently using this seat protector with a Chicco Keyfit 30 Infant Carrier. We have the Prince Lionheart 2 Stage Seatsaver, Black in our other car. This one is much nicer. The material is more cloth like than rubbery on the Prince Lionheart, it's thicker and more sturdy, it has the no slip strips on both sides, and it provides better coverage on both the seat bottom and back. It looks better when it's in place as well. It looks light gray in the pictures here, but it's actually more charcoal gray. Yesterday, I pulled out the base for the carrier and checked the seat after it being in for a month. Just leaving a box on the seats for a few hours can leave a dent, so I was a little worried. I was pleased to see that there were no marks or indentations. If you are debating between this one and the Prince Lionheart, definitely go with this one. Nothing wrong with the Prince Lionheart, but this one is much better for just a few bucks more. Update 12/14: We're now using this seat protector with a Britax Advocate G4.1 Convertible Car Seat, Silver Diamonds . The seat by itself is 22 pounds. I've pulled the car seat and protector out a few times to clean the seat bottom and after 16 months of use there are no marks or indentations on the seat whatsoever. This really is a great product. I've soured a bit on the Prince Lionheart since my first review. It hasn't held up nearly as well as the Brica, even with far less usage. The Brica looks just as good now as the day it went in. The back piece on Brica lays flat against the seat back and stays in place because of the headrest strap while the Prince Lionheart kind of flops around. Really, for another ~$4 the Brica is a no brainer. I'm ordering another one as we speak... Update: I keep reading comments that say this product and others like it aren't safe to use. Regardless of if you use this product or not, you need to make sure the seat is snug. This was a two person job when we switched from LATCH to the seat belt. The bottom line is that the car seat shouldn't move more than 1" in any direction. It took a bit of doing but the seat is tight. I'm confident that this is a safe installation. If you have any doubts about yours, you should get it checked by a certified inspector.

We have purchased five of these car seat protector over the years. First, my husband bought one for his car, as he has leather seats. It worked so well, that he bought another one for his car for our other child. Then, he eventually replaced all of our car seat protectors in my minivan with the Brica Seat Guardian Car Seat Protector. These car seat protectors have rubber strips the prevent the car seat from slipping during quick stops (we live in the country and have had to brake for deer multiple times). Other car seat protectors have allowed fluids to drip down onto the seats, mostly where the belt or latch connects to the seats. Not these ones, there is a lip that prevents any fluids from dripping down onto the seat itself. These car seat protectors are easy to clean up and easy to install, and have lasted several years with our children growing up. We have used these car seat protectors with bothe the LATCH system and with the lapbelt. This works with booster seats as well as now our oldest has graduated from a car seat to a booster seat. I like that there is a lower flap that protects the seat from snowy and muddy shoes. These car seat protectors "seem" to be waterproof as there have been little puddles from drinks that I have had to clean up rather than soaking through or leaking through to the seat itself. All of our car seats fit onto these car seat protectors with the exception of our latest (and by far largest) baby car seat. The base of this one just rests ontop of the lip of the car seat protector. After securing the car seat properly, there is no movement or tilt to the car seat (just the lip of the car seat protector is now compressed down in that area). We will never purchase another car seat protector again after previously purchasing three different brands, which all had great reviews. With our kids through hockey practices, picnics, multiple long distance trips of 11-20 hours each to Disney World and family living out of state, these protectors have held up and surpassed all of our expectations!

The Munchkin Elite Seat Guardian Child Car Seat Protector with Grime Guard Fabric in Dark Grey is an absolute must-have for anyone using car seats. It provides exceptional protection underneath the car seat, safeguarding your vehicle's seats from crumbs, spills, and leaks. The material is water-resistant, so liquids don't penetrate, and it's incredibly easy to clean—you can simply hose it down, and it's good as new. One of the standout features is how it distributes the pressure from the car seat. This means you won't end up with unwanted impressions or dents on your leather or fabric seats. Installation is extremely quick and straightforward, and once it's in place, it stays very secure. I also appreciate that the front part of the protector covers the upper front of the seat. This is especially helpful for front-facing car seats, protecting your seats from kids' feet and potential damage as they climb in and out of the car seat. I consider this product essential—I own four of them (two for each car). If you value keeping your car seats in pristine condition while providing a comfortable and safe setup for your child's car seat, this protector is a fantastic investment.

I purchased two of these seat protection mats by Munchkin after seeing the one my daughter-in-law had in her new vehicle. I had not been using anything to protect my leather seats in my current vehicle, and there were pretty bad divots from my grandkids seats. I purchased a new vehicle and knew I wanted something to protect the beautiful brown leather! I asked her about the ones she had, and she sent me a link. I looked up the same exact mat (these, by Munchkin) on Amazon, and they were $20+ cheaper than where she purchased! These are durable feeling, are a good thickness without being bulky, and have protected her leather great - I am confident they'll make me happy! They are super easy to install, just attach the strap around the headrest and done! They look good and are not very noticeable once the carseat is in place either. I love that the mat folds over the seat at the bottom to protect from dirty like feet too! I highly recommend these!

If you have any concerns about your child’s car seat damaging leather/upholstery, get this cover! My child had a pee accident with lots of leakage below the car seat and this cover caught all of the urine because of the waterproofed surface and grooves! Saved my car! I was able to hose off the cover and it maintained its structure. After 9 months, it has prevented the back of my seat from getting an indentation from the car seat as well. Well worth the price! Note: I do NOT have the version with the blue pieces.

Great quality, the use is not quite easy, some times it gets in the way of the isofix latch making it harder to install

This seems to work well and feels sturdy. My kid is pretty unruly in the back seat, and this does a good job protecting the fabric from dirty shoes and scuffs. The bottom portion also helps prevent deep imprints from the car seat itself. It’s much easier to clean when crumbs or debris fall onto the protector instead of the seat. Simple, practical, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

The problem with car seats and leather surfaces is due to indentations that the plastic angles of the car-seat make in leather, stretching the seat cover and sometimes even scratching the leather. Took >2 month on my leased car to get back into original shape after just a year install time, so I got worried. I first bought Diono "Grip It" protector, and although it is sticking to leather well and protects against the scratches, the indentations were still there. So I decided to try this protector, and wasn't disappointed: although BRICA is more expensive than DIONO, it is well worth it. First, the material is really heavy: it is a hard surface, barely bendable, and when you apply angular pressure from one side with sharp object, you don't get the indentation through (DIONO is soft surface, and the plastic presses through it). Second, it is very wide, hence all sizes of seats will fit well. Finally, the blue rubber on the bottom does provide some sliding protection, but not great. No idea if it will stick to leather or make color smudges, - will update my review if it does Note: people complain that these protectors are not safe, because with them the seat may slide sideways during crash. My experience is that you need to tighten the child seat to the actual car seats' anchors with a lot of force. In this case it does not matter if these is a protector between these - it won't move. This is really why the soft protectors like DIONO, or no protectors at all, make damage to leather surfaces, but it is how the car seats must be used for safety reasons. After seeing how well this protector is made and the effect compared to DIONO, I bought another for my 2nd car. I definitely recommend this product to protect your leather seats Update (2/11/2014): I am extremely satisfied with this protector. No color bleed from blue stripes, they do provide good anti-sliding effect, and there are no indentations on leather surfaces on either of my cars. This product rocks!

ちょっとお値段はするのですが、チャイルドシートの下に一枚入れておくだけでシートへのダメージがかなり軽減できます。特にレザーシートを使用されている場合には必須のアイテムかと思います。取り付けは簡単ですが、ヘッドレストの形状によっては固定が出来ない場合があるのでご注意ください。 ISOFIX装着の部分も切り欠きになっているのでチャイルドシートの取り付けも簡単にできて便利です。汚れても簡単に洗えますし、お菓子などをこぼしても簡単に掃除できるのも良い所です。

I purchased two of these - one for my car and one for my wife's car. These are a great idea and are thick enough to prevent the upholstery of the vehicle from being damaged by a tightly strapped in car seat. The seatback protector secures nicely under the headrest and is useful for taking a kicking from my rear-facing infant. Although this is listed as "seat guardian", what shipped to me is "seat guardian elite". I was originally looking to purchase a similar product made by Diono on recommendation by my brother, but shipping delays made this one seem more attractive. After seeing both, I believe this is the superior product.
