I have read that some seat covers for your vehicle will void warranty on a carseat. Do you know which seat saver I can use with my new Chicco Keyfit?
Thanks a bunch!

Howdy and welcome!

We generally discourage use of vehicle seat covers as a lot of them are very thick with grippy backs and can give a false sense of a secure install, when in fact it isn't. If you must put something on your vehicle seats, a super thin receiving blanket is ok to use.

I'm not sure about voiding the warranty- but I do know most manufacturers won't allow the use of aftermarket or homemade carseat covers, extra headrests, strap covers, and the like. All this "fluff" allows too much slack around baby (and homemade covers don't meet flammability or crash requirements).

UH oh.... I have a towel underneath my daughter's carseat. Should I take it out? I have leather seats and don't want a perma dent in the seat. How do you prevent that? I know for sure a receiving blanket wouldn't do that.

A thin towel one layer under a seat is fine. Nothing will prevent indentations. If it does, it's interfering with the installation. They'll bounce out, so don't worry about indentations.
