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.

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?

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.

I haven't had to remove it to wash it because it is very easy to clean with a wipe or damp cloth. Hope this helps. It is a great car seat.

If left in for extended amounts of time, the plastic around the slot will start to warp. I always remove mine when I am getting out of the car. It's not really permanent damage, and it depends on the set up of your cd slot and console in your car. The dust protectors made of fabric in the cd slot will get slightly deformed, but again this is not really considered damage. If I had a brand new car, I might think twice before using this product.

we got the black and used it through one summer without problems regarding it being too hot. the black material is softer feeling and seems like it would be pleasant to lean your head against. My son had no problems with comfort in this seat. HOWEVER if your child is tall, I would highly recommend not getting a Britax seat because the headrest is not reinforced, meaning that when your child's head is 1" from the top of the SHELL of the seat (NOT including the headrest), he/she is too tall to ride rear-facing. This typically happens when the child is wearing size 3T. Just wanted to mention that in case it saves you the trouble we went through. we got the black and used it through one summer without problems regarding it being too hot. the black material is softer feeling and seems like it would be pleasant to lean your head against.

I would contact britax directly but make sure the seat is not expired and don't purchase from someone you don't know...you never where that car seat has been (accident??). And don't put anything other than a Britax cover on it otherwise the seat is not safe.

We have owned this car seat for almost 1 year. I have only completely removed the cover once for washing, and it has stayed on just fine.

This actually just happened to us. The rubber pads on of our seats broke. Britax promptly sent replacements for that seat and our second seat which isn't having any issues. No questions asked.

No. It comes just like it is pictured. Extremely durable. I have bought 4 (yes for 4 separate car seats installed in my car at one time) and not a single one has shown any sign of wear and tear. My seats look like brand new. Plus it gives extra space around the edges for when the food and drinks get thrown out of the car seats! Much needed bonus that I never thought of until life happened! Lol.

The dashboard could be damaged if it is not hard plastic dashboard. I've never encountered that problem and I really like the product, it does exactly what it says. Hope that helps.

May leave a little indention; the tablet doesn't really put that much pressure on the seat via the foot. So far it has not really caused any damage to mine, but my seats are also fabric so no real indentation.

Hi, I don't use this as a car- seat so I don't have that problem.The only thing that I can think of is to some attach a wide piece of elastic or just fabric tot he under side of this and tie/pin/stitch it around the underside of the car seat.

Typically car seats are good for 5 years or need to be replaced in the case of a car accident...from what I've read :)

Hell Yeah man! we love our covers and they work amazing with carseats. We have two messy princesses and they clean up real nice with just a clorox wipe or even a baby wipe.
