If you have an infant seat in your IS, do you have a seat protector that prevents the leather from getting ruined? If yes, what brand is it and do you like it?
I'm getting a new IS 350 and don't know which seat protector to get.

Guess there are not many IS owners on here with kids ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I've got two kids and have seat protectors under each of their car seats in both my GX and IS. They work great a preventing the dimples in the seats at the pressure points. I use the Prince Lionheart brand - think we picked it up at Baby's R Us, but I am sure you can find them online. They come in different colors to match your cars interior.

I had to go look, but sure enough, they are 'Prince Lionheart'. Use them in my IS, the wife's EOS, and our Ridgeline RTL. They do a great job of keeping scuffs and other crap off the seats and capture crumbs, spills, etc. with their raised lips. There's no food in the IS or the EOS, but those have saved a few disasters in the Ridge.

This Lexus dad finally got to sleep in this morning. ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I'm with jns350, we have the Eddie Bauer in my wife's RX and we love it! Very easy to clean. I have a Recaro seat in rear passenger side of my IS350 with no pad, but I keep a really absorbent towel in the seatback pocket... so far, so good.

Thanks for all the replies! I did see the Prince Lionheart at Babies R Us and will probably pick up that one. I hope it still doesn't ruin the leather as the back seat in the IS is so bucket-like. I'm think of putting a towel under the seat protector for extra protection.
Yeah, people think I'm crazy for getting an IS 350 with a 10-month old son. But I just love the car and figure I'll find a way to make it work. My wife's Accord will be used most of the time anyway. And like Janizary, there won't be any food in the IS.

I have a Recaro seat with the Prince Lionheart protector plus some foam material and a couple of towels underneath. I have an MDX where I just used the seat protector and while it protects the leather from scratching, etc. it still leaves some marks. The foam is under the seat and the towels are near the latch areas and the seat back. When I remove the car seat for cleaning it looks like the leather seat is untouched.

Once you feel this thing it will put your worries to rest it's solid. You sound **** like me and I have had no problems with the seats being dimpled/damaging and I use no towel. The ONLY concern I had initially was that it did not come up quite high enough on the seat back for my liking and because it is such a deep bucket seat the outsides of the car seat had a tendancy to touch the leather at the bolster. To solve that I just pulled it up higher on the seat and made sure all contact points where covered, strapped down the carseat and it does not move. Good luck and congrats! ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

The only other protector I've heard may be good is the Sunshine, but I don't know anyone that has it (all my friends have the Prince Lionheart).

Yes--I have the Eddie Bauer one. I don't think there's much difference in them. I got it at Target or Babies R Us.

I think it's near impossible to keep the leather from getting dimpled from the car seat (assuming you have it in correctly--nice and tight), but it's just a fact of life IMHO. can't keep the car perfect...
