I just bought these for my girls boosters, saw another member had recommended them. Just got them, good quality and the non-slip back is nice.

I went with this one, but they're all pretty similar, and work pretty well at protecting the leather at least somewhat.

This is the one I went with too. I have this one for the backless booster and the full seat one for the baby seat.

Guys, get serious and get this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Prince-Lionhea.../dp/B0077KMZRW

I have used this for 8 years. Unlike most seat protectors, which are nylon with a bit of padding between, this one has a lower portion that is one piece molded rubber with an anti skid backing. The difference is that whereas those nylon ones are ,a inky about protecting spills, this one is stiff enough to re-distribute the pressure of the seat. I have never taken a seat out and not had the indentations GONE in 24 hours, and my seats are TIGHT. Do yourselves a favor and get this one. Available at BBB and BRU, although you might have to ship.

I have 4 of these in our cars and would definitely agree. These ones are the best at preventing indentations.

Have just put these in for some backless boosters (so just using the lower part)

They are very nice in protecting the seat however, a bit slidey on the leather seat (with backless boosters, they arent locked into anything like a LATCH)

I am debating getting some rubber anti-slip stuff (ie: like i have under rugs on hardwood floor) to keep them moving around too much...

Same one that I am using. It works pretty good. No issues at all.

I have a rear facing seat in the back and use the Diono Ultra Mat Full Size and it works great.:
http://www.amazon.com/Diono-Ultra-Fu...xp_grid_pt_2_1

Tried a Brica Guardian but it didn't work in the M3. The top loop didn't have enough adjustability to fit well with the non-adjustable headrests in the back.

Arrow Recommendations for Seat Protector to go with the Child Seat

So there is already a thread for child seats and it helped me immensely in making my decision on what car seat to go with. Now that I have bought the car seat, installing it in the rear facing position requires this foot piece under it to protrude out and that is going to put some serious pressure on the rear seat once it tightened down. Am looking for recommendations on some tried and tested car seat protectors, specifically those that don't bleed color onto the leather. Looked up Amazon and the Prince Lionheart seems to have pretty good reviews.

http://www.amazon.com/Diono-40121-Gr...1EPRMZ9WDP81C1

(purchsed from wal mart online, much cheaper and did in store pick up)

there's also their cushioned on: http://www.amazon.com/Diono-Ultra-Fu...=diono+carseat

I have Brica Seat Gaurdians in both the wife's X3 and my M3. They've worked very well so far and I've been very happy with them.
