Seat protectors

Car seat protectors – protection from dirt and abrasion

Whether it is tiny feet that reach the back of the front seat and stain it with dirty shoes, accidentally spilled drinks or the crumbs of snacks that get caught in the gaps - everyone who has children and is in the car with them knows how quickly the seats and covers can get dirty. A car seat protector provides a remedy and ensures that the covers and upholstery of your car seats look like new for a long time.

A car seat protector is a removable, waterproof protection that serves as a barrier between an infant car seat or child car seat and the upholstery of your car. It helps to avoid stains and traces of abrasion, but also offers a high level of protection against pressure marks that can occur when using a child car seat.

Car seat protectors are available in two versions:

Back seat protectors, also known as kick protection, are to be attached to the back of the front seats and thus create a barrier between the seat padding and the soles of your child's shoes. Furthermore, these covers can also be used as an organiser and offer storage space for colouring books, pens and all the little things your child needs while riding in the car.

Seat pads offer comprehensive protection for individual seats. They cover the entire lower and rear part of your back seat and are usually long enough to reach beyond the lower edge of the seat. Regardless of whether your child is riding in a rear-facing or forward-facing child car seat or is already old enough to use a booster seat: A seat pad catches crumbs and spilled drinks and at the same time protects the edge of the seat from your child's dirty shoes.

Things to consider before buying a car seat protector:

Opening slots for seat belts and / or Isofix hooks

Car seat covers that already have openings for seat belts or Isofix hooks can make your life a lot easier when it comes to putting your child in and lifting them out of the car seat or buckling your child up. However, not every seat protector is equipped with such openings. Before you buy one, be sure to read the product details carefully to make sure you get the right product.

Thickness of car seat protector

A slightly thicker car seat protector is always a good choice because it offers your child a more comfortable ride and lasts longer. However, there is a risk that the material will compress over time and will make your child's car seat lose its secure, firm position.

Cleaning

Many seat pads and kick protectors can be cleaned easily by removing crumbs with a vacuum cleaner or simply wiping them with a damp cloth. However, if your child suffers from motion sickness and will vomit frequently when travelling by car, it makes more sense to choose a machine-washable car seat cover.

Easy installation and deinstallation

Most car seat protectors require straps to be adjusted and attached, while others are only based on a non-slip pad to stay in place. If you are planning to buy a seat protector and leave it in the same car for several months or even years, it is advisable to get a model whose initial installation by using belts or Velcro strips does take a little more time, but guarantees maximum safety. If you have to switch the child seat and thus move the car seat cover between two cars more often, we recommend a version that is hung over the head cushion on the top of the car seat by using a loop and has non-slip material on the bottom side.
