Munchkin Brica Elite Seat Guardian Car Seat Protector, Baby/Toddler/Child, Dark Grey

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!

I have one for both of my children. When I went to sell my car it had kept the seat clean and dent free from the car seats. My husband also has one under his car seats in his car. Do we have 3.

I needed this for my new MYP and didnt want to scuff or leave an indent in the seat. I saw cheaper versions but they didnt have any support or rigidity to it so its no different than a towel. So I ended up with this just because a stiffer thicker material is less likely to allow whatever it is on top to deform the seat cover. And its been 2000 miles later with my kid and his baby seat on top and theres no sign anything has been on top. Glad I got this instead of cheaping out

This is perfect. Easy to install and looks very nice. This will save my car from the nugget

Catches all the crumbs spilled anything - definitely protects the seat

This is always the first item I add to my registry when I am expecting. This product is incredible at doing its job! We got stuck in horrible stand still traffic once and my daughter peed through her diaper. It went through her clothes and her carseat, but never touched my seats because it puddled into this seat protector! I always recommend it to everyone!

Love these and protect our seats!

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 wasnt 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 dont 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 wont 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!

It catches some of the mess but some how doesn’t. My seats are still trashed and a bit dented

Very durable, helps protect my leather seats from my kids car seats and also has caught many liquid spills. Easy to install and remove and very easy to clean. I loved this product so much, I ended up ordering for my other car. I highly recommend this product, it is worth the price!
