We had our carseat inspected by the police dept. They said items like this jeopardize a carseat's effectiveness/invalidate the warranty. Thoughts?

Logically I don't see how it could effect it, the seat still hooks in the exact same way, but of course worth looking into.

I'm not an expert, but this mat is thin enough and does not seem to effect the buckling in of the car seat - I'm not sure how it would jeopardize the effectiveness.

I have noticed no movement but my daughter cranked on the snug downs with her body weight kneed in the seat so I didn't expect any. I am also not an expert. Trust your feelings, Luke.

Hi! I went outside to inspect my car seat (RECARO) and this protector. I have a 2007 Yukon Denali, so I have the latch key system. The upper portion of this protector has rubber grippies to keep the upper portion from moving around. I think, if the car seat is installed properly, and tightly, this product won't affect the effectiveness. But! I'm not an expert in any way! Trust your gut!

I totally disagree. There is a 'webbed' material on the back that holds it in place on the seat....I'll tell you what compromises the effectiveness...seatbelts that don't immediate 'lock'...I had to swerve the other day and my grandaughters' car seat 'tipped' but the mat under it held in place and I feel it actually kept the car seat from tipping even further! I still stand by the use of my protector!

I wold check with Tge manufacturer. But I would not think so as the portion that sits agains the back of the seat would flop down o to baby's feet unless folded down but if one did that the correct surface of seat protector would not be against the surface of car's seat. I would contact manufacturer directly.

It's gone through the car wash (brushless normally). It's been sprayed with a high-pressure power washer and had frozen snow and ice cleared around it. It's been on the vehicle for 3+ years. I don't believe any carwash warranties their facilities against damaging your vehicle. That's the reason you normally don't see car accessories warrantied against car wash damage.

I agree with a previous response, that you really have to press down hard to get the two pieces together. It shouldn't be a problem after that. Honestly, I don't remember it being too much of an issue. We popped it together and put it in the car, and haven't had the need to touch it since. Britax is nothing short of awesome when it comes to returns/replacements/etc...so if you don't think it's right, don't use it. Call them and ask for another one or whatever you feel best doing. Good luck!

I wish I couldanswer this for you but I'm not sure. I gave the carseat to my stepdaughter as a gift. Her baby was just born so she is still in a smaller carseat and they haven't used it yet. But it is a very nice carseat.

Are you sure that you removed the protective sticker over the "band" letters on the back of the unit? I drove around with the sticker on for a few weeks.

I would recommend no because Britax crash tested this specific seat protector for Britax car seats not any other model. If you were in an accident and you used different car seat accessory than the ones made by your car seat manufacturer, your car seat could fail in a crash. Also, if your car seat was to malfunction and you wanted to take legal action you wouldn't be able to because you used parts not approved by your car seat manufacturer. This also would void your Graco warranty. Do I think any of this would happen? Who knows? Just giving you the information I learned as a car seat tech.

It could have a possible issue if it the warranty in question is related to the engine or its components.

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.

With of without the insert, This product is dangerous and is against most car seat's manufacturers instructions. Google why it's dangerous and suggested alternatives. If you get in an accident, your baby will not be protected if you use this.

To the reviewers below, it does have a direct impact on how your car-seat reacts in a crash! RESEARCH before you rattle off silly answers. The seller should list which, if any, car seats this has been tested with and approved for or you will VOID your warranty and place your child in possible danger. Best thing to do is contact your car seat maker and ask. Usually they have one specifically for their car seats THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED.

I had the same concern.Make sure the seller is reputable and an authorized retailer...make them prove it if you feel uncomfortable.

My paper from the company says there is a lifetime warranty unless it is broken (misuse) or tampered with. You should contact the company to find a dealer--or send it back to them directly: Street Wise.

Sounds like a bad strip to me. I use them in automotive but I do cut them into sections. I would contact the seller

I would have to agree with Gordon. I really don't completely understand it either. As I understand it you are correct. The plan covers replacement of the item covered. I would call and find out. I haven't had time to call...

I have no problems. We've had it a few months now. I just treat them like carseat straps. Mild soap and warm water. Wipes clean! :)

It depends on the dealer. Some don't mind but others claim it'll void the warranty.
