What is the deal with homemade or eBay car seat covers, if they are not the "official" manufacturer's seat covers? Are they unsafe? If they are felt-backed fabric (clingy), then is there still a problem? Just curious...

Custom car seat covers are a no, no. Besides the fact that they will void your warrenty, I understand that they are not flame-retardant like the original seat covers. That alone would make me stay away from them.

They void the warrenty. Your real the manufacture of all liability. They have no flame retardant. And, The biggest reason to avoid them. They are not crash tested with your car seat. All reasons for avoid them at all costs.

Some makers do use flame retardent fabric, which is typically drapery fabric. However, as the other ladies said, they can void the warranty and the seats are not crash tested with them.
