4Ever allows all seat protectors?

Graco seems to be encouraging people to use pretty much whatever they want under the seat.

Scroll to page 12 of the manual: http://download.gracobaby.com/ProductInstructionManuals/PD276106E_PD276107E.pdf

Graco has allowed a thin seat protector in all their manuals in recent memory. When I spoke to them about what was appropriate, I was told no thicker than a receiving blanket or thin towel was best, so that's the guideline I use.

Thank you! The only Graco I own is a 2009 MyRide and somehow I either missed it in the manual, or, more likely, didn't see anything significant about it back in 2009 when I wasn't on FB car seat groups

Funny that I haven't seen anyone mention it before, though, because it seems like all day every day is "take out the seat protector" on FB LOL. I've never had a desire to use anything on my own seats, even when I didn't know better, because my seats aren't worth protecting

I think I will contact Graco also but does any know if this would be allowed under a Graco fastaction fold travel system jogger car seat? I had heard nothing was allowed so I'm a bit confused.

Brica Car Seat Guardian Plus

Thank you & please delete if not allowed. 1st time poster.

Welcome!
I'm pretty sure (I've never seen it NOT in a Graco manual, anyway!), that a mat is allowed under that Snugride Click Connect (the seat you have). The Brica is exceptionally bulky, however, and actually does tend to make seat installs unacceptable. There's a blog here with a graph of ratings when you scroll down that's helpful... http://carseatblog.com/21536/vehicle-seat-protectors-update-what-you-need-to-know/
Honestly? After years and years of super duper tight installs for my three kids, I find that dents in seats pop out, and food spills are easy enough to clean up. After barely ever using any seat mats, when I traded in my 11 year old van, the seats were the nicest part of the car

(The chocolate milkshake in the carpet, however? THAT never came up, no matter how much I cleaned, lol)
