articles explaining dangers of seat protectors?

A person on one of my car (vehicle) boards claims that he read that all seat protectors are allowed with all seats in all vehicles and that none of the protectors will interfere with installs. Articles proving otherwise? Person is very my way or the highway and will only believe anything if it's an official article. Thanks!

ETA: for those reading, seat protectors are not typically recommended as they do increase the possibility of masking an improper install.

If the seat was otherwise installed correctly, it's not something I would really address. Harping on seat protectors is just one of those details that makes CPS passionate people look crazy. But carseatblog has a good post.

Edit: I would just stress to be aware of "false" security that they could provide.

I think there was a more recent review on the blog (installing with and without) that rated them. (by recent I mean in the last 6 months)
