Seat protectors?

I read in another post that someone's seat protectors were too thick and not safe? I have the Prince Lionheart ones, are they okay?

Thanks!

Sorry, the prince lionheart ones are much too thick... they gotta go.

You can use a thin towel or a piece of shelf liner instead.

I didn't know car seat liners were a problem. I have Eddie Bauer ones? Are they ok?

No, they aren't okay. Any aftermarket items are a safety concern. The seat protectors are too thick. If you absolutely must have something between the vehicle seat and the carseat, use grippy shelf liner or a thin towel like the pp mentioned.

Not having personal experience with them I'd have to say no. Seat protectors are NOT allowed. Only a thin towel is allowed.

They can throw it against the wall and call it "crash tested". it's a marketing gimmick. Because there are no federal guidelines for aftermarket products, saying something is crash tested means absolutely nothing.

At Lifesavers this year they don't us that those things are no longer recommended because they give the illusion of a secure installation.
