Britax car seat indent damage: Has anyone had a problem of this car seat ripping the cloth?

Try the "Sunshine Kids Ultra-Mat Ulimate 2-Part Undermat Car Seat Mat" or the "DuoMat 2-in-1 Car Seat and Mat by Kiddopotamus" Look for padded bottom and seat cover, so that it can be used rearfacing and forward facing. Either way they protect well. Skip the ones that only cover the seat because your child will kick the cloth and it won't be protected.

Hello Jeanne, I had the same issue. Apparently there was a bad batch shipped out. Please contact fintankelly@bubblebum.us and let her know the issue. They have EXCELLENT customer service and will resolve the issue. In my case they replaced both my seats immediately at no cost to me! Once you get the replacements, you will love this product! Kelly did tell me that the seat was tested deflated also and meets safety standards without air provided you use the belt hooks on both sides of the seat to keep the belt snug across your child.

we had a similar problem before the frame broke too, and were able to use another cloth portion from another stroller. when we had this problem with another stroller, the manufacturer sent an entire replacement. and with yet another stroller, we just sewed the parts that had ripped.

This is our second set of these seats and haven't had any problems. I didn't see any guarantee on the two I bought recently

It has for me. I have them in two vehicles with leather seats and they work great. One is for my son's bolster chair and the other protects my infants car seat. I've been using them for about 3 years now.

Having never sat in it personally, I can't say whether or not it's comfortable, but my kids don't seem to mind it at all. We have two different patterns of this car seat, and both appear to be the same fabric type. We live in a very hot and humid climate, and I was concerned they would heat up, but so far we haven't had any problems that way. The fabric is smooth and they seem to like it. Even on the hottest days their legs don't seem to stick or anything.

We inspected our floor model and is doesn't look like the fabric is removable...It is stitched on. Please let me know if I can help you with any other car seat questions.Thanks,Mary734.369.6038

Yes we have had a similar problem, we used an air gun to blow it out and cleaned it thoroughly and it was a little easier. Still harder than the car seat in my wife's car.

Never a problem. My cover is 3yrs old & I have a perpetual car was tag so I go through a lot. It flexes enough to make me nervous but I've never had any damage or failure.

No. I have this cushion on black leather seats in a Mazda6. It doesn't leave any marks or indentations on the leather.

I have leather seats and although they were not pristine to start with I didn't notice scuffing. If you are really concerned, and have really nice seats, putting some sort of felt or flannel material on the seat-bed underneath would probably work. FYI the back side of the hammock also has somewhat of a waterproof lining on it that cracks and flakes overtime. I used my hammock for about four years and washed it a number of times though.

There was a recall on it, but they send a new latch/belt and now it works great. I never had a problem with the "sticking" that some people had, but requested a replacement latch from graco just to be safe. Overall, we love this car seat, the cup holders are a must have.

I had that same issue and struggled to try to attach it and never did get it on the way it should be; but I did get some nasty looking scraps on my hands from the metal under the seat. I left it as I positioned it and the cover has stayed on okay. I hope this helps.

twinsmom: I haven't had that problem but I have lost another brand to a car wash in the past. it is a well-made product and certainly inexpensive (compare to dealer price). probably worth a try for you.

The fabric is fine. It is not as soft as the Britax Marathon fabric but it is fine. My daughter has never complained and it is easy to clean.

I think it is some sort of nylon. It seems comfortable and it is super easy to clean. The entire cover snaps off and can be thrown in the washing machine. It is very smooth and comfy. We really like the carseat, including the fabric.

My advice, which comes from a car seat installation trainer of 20 years, do not buy anything to add to, put under, or put over the car seat. The cas seat manufacturer will not stand behind the safety of their product with additions. Before you dismiss this as cooky "conspiracy knowledge", think logically about our society: would a company look for ways to get out of liability or will they willingly accept liability?
