Default IS-F Owners with Kids

Any F members with young kids? I need to throw a child seat in the rear but hate to see those divots left by the seats. Does anyone have any tips to protect the rear seats? Thanks in advance

You can lay a towel down before you set the seat on the seat. the dimples usually work themselves out though.

there is actually padding you can buy to protect the seats and also make sure the child seat is correctly seated on the rear seats. link is below...i don't use this one but u can shop around. i mainly linked it for reference.

no towels, they tend to be slippery and not considered as safe! use what is suggested by EvilTeo above...I have 3 of them, work really well and keep your seats clean.

Lol..

The seat protectors work great. I've noticed that the car seat anchors still push upwards on the back cushion. It was making me uncomfortable so I just put the seat in the Prius .

I have a 6 and 4 year old who roll with me . The seats fit fine and I have removed them twice to take HIGE tires in for install and the little imprints in the leather will regress is about a week it less . Condition it with leather conditioner and leave out on a warm day . Just went through this 2 weeks ago when I got new tires . Need to put te seats back in and noticed the leather looks otaku normal . I do use the Eddie Bauer baby seat pads . Just make sure not to mount them without the pads

I have a new born, well 11 months.. I had the seat covers as other people stated.. But man.. Once I put the car seat in (rear facing) the passenger seat has to be soo all the way to the front and inclined straight up to where the passenger is almost eating my dashboard

Mine just turned 7 months today. The grayco seat we have leaves a decent amount of room for the passenger, but luckily, my wife is tiny.

I used a some seat protectors (doubled up with two of them actually) from amazon. I'm sure if I take out the base there will still be indentions from the pressure since I have it strapped down pretty tight, but hopefully they would go away after a few days.
