Some people get their knickers in a bunch about ERF and muddy feet so, if you have a great way to protect your seats, please share.

I actually cut that grippy thing in half so you can protect 2 seats with one gripper.

I put an XL T-shirt over the seatback when the RF seat was on the captain's chair. My RF'er with dirty shoes is now in the third row. I'll have to try that rubber mat trick since my T-shirt trick won't work anymore.

I have one like that, but it's canvas I think. I put that on, and then a man's L tshirt. At the beginning of last winter, I used just the tshirt, and it kept my van seat clean.

I use a pillowcase in a color similar to the car's interior. Some cars it goes over the entire seat (narrow side of split bench or captains chair) or cut holes for the headrest to go through and tuck the bottom under the front edge of the car seat.

We're wild and crazy here, this is what we use:

We even change to a different pattern/colour EVERY day.

(that's right, we take shoes off )

We take shoes off I would do it for FF too if the shoes were really dirty.

Count me in the shoes-off crew.

I've taken to having kids wear Crocs in and out of the house, and then taking their tennis shoes along if we're going to need them, and putting them on at the destination. Sometimes I just carry the kids, in their socks, to the van.

It takes an extra minute or two, but I've found it's truly the easiest solution for us.

This is what we use in both vehicles we have as well. Works quite well :thumbsup:

The no shoes people...do you live in a warmer climate? I am trying to picture how taking shoes off would work around here when it is freezing cold and blowing snow. I usually try to run in to wherever we are going...but I am a huge baby when it comes to cold.

Great thread, OP!! I remembering being very annoyed last year at the wet, muddy mess. I am definitely going to check out a seat protector. Something so simple and yet I never thought about it. Duh!!

I got a fleece blanket that had plastic on one side and cut it a few inches wider than my MA base and cut holes in it for my head rest posts and tucked the top back into the trunk area and then actually had it go all the way across the back and under the seat so it was good for muddy boots and crumbs too.

Warm? Not here. In fact FAR from it. I'm in Canada and a cold part of Canada too. I wrap DD's legs in a fleece blanket and I turn on her heated seat which has just enough of the heated backrest exposed above her RF so she can keep her feet warm. This is more for me though, she doesn't tend to care, she's throwing blankets off and pulling her socks off no matter how cold it is. Crazy kid!

Before you go throwing fire balls at me... those towels are each about 11 years old and if they were any thinner, they'd disappear. GMIL was getting fussy about her backseat (and it IS HER car) and it was either this or a super thick storebought thing she wanted to get...

I make my kids remove their shoes because I don't want their car seat or their neighbor's car seat to get wet and muddy.
