wet feet and car seats?

Cryssy Jane · Oct 24, 2010

So I just can't take of all the kiddos shoes and put them all in seats, just to put shoes back on, it takes up way too much time. However if they were muddy I would do so. For just wet feet what do you recommend using on the vehicle seats?

Pops has grey leather seats, and while they wipe down easily he gets really OCD if there's any dirt marks on them. I typically don't use the headrests, but I think I found an arrangement for the current kids where I could put 2/4 back on. We tried old shirts last year but pops didn't like the way that looked.

I was thinking of something like [ame="http://www.amazon.com/SafeFit-Kick-Mats-2-Pack-Grey/dp/B000TVGQGC/ref=lh_ni_t_"]this[/ame]? He would like something that blends into the interior, and didn't like the ones that were similar but clear plastic

ETA: all kiddos are RF!

We have these. One in my car and the other in DH's car---one seat in each car. Instead of putting it on the back of the front seat, it goes against the seatback of the rear seat before installing the car seat. It's no thicker than a t-shirt, possibly thinner. I'm not sure how water repellant it's going to be, but I think it helps with the dirt.

We have cloth seats. My car is 5 yrs old and DH's is just under a yr. I wish we had gotten them sooner.

I do know how to put them on, I was just curious if anyone had used them and the thickness or the material. hmmm

I used one with Avi but it was on the back of the front seat because he was FF. I could try it with the TF RF if you want and I could take a picture. The weather is nasty out right now but if you want I could try in the next few days. I'm not sure what would happen to the extra material, I think you might need to cut them shorter.

I have a 2008 Toyota Corolla btw.

I picked ours up at BRU. If you're local to one, you could check them out before you buy.

I didn't need to trim them. I use it with both the TFP and the GMR. I did have to wrap the top straps around the head restraint poles to shorten them up before velcroing though. I have a Chevy Malibu Maxx and DH has a Hyundai Elantra.

I have something similar that I used last winter, or the year before. It's a canvas material I think. It has elastic that goes around the vehicle seatback at the top and bottom.

ETA: I misread your reply and thought you said "I don't know how to put them on"

I just sewed up a simple PUL slipcover for the seat that DS's is installed on. It has worked great so far.
