Has anyone tried installing these on the back seat to protect the seats for rear-facing kiddos?

I have a 2013 Expedition and I put them on all 3 rows of seats. They fit best on the front buckets but I was able to successfully install them on the middle bench but not the back as designed but I keep the 3rd row folded most of the time so this protects the carpeted back of those seats with items tossed in the back. I would highly recommend these for anyone with kids in the car. They are washable and could easily be washed with a damp cloth to removed minimal dirt.

We havent, however if you have headrests on the back seat, I am sure it would work. Simply wrap the top strap over the headrest and tuck the mat between the car seat and back seat. These are really great mats and (in my opinion) good quality. We have been using ours for a few months now and our two year old kicks it a lot and wipes the snow from her boots every time she gets in the truck, and they are holding up wonderfully!

Great idea! The only limitation that I see would be the width of the seat back. The back of the seat would need to be "1" width. The rear seat in my car folds down left (1) or right/middle (2 connected) so it'd only work on the left side.

I see no reason why it wouldn't be able to fit on the front of the seat- the attachment cords have lots of length and flex in the elastic.

I'm not sure. I would think that would depend on the width of the seat back that you're considering covering. There are 3 straps that are attached to the seat back cover that you slide down until they're at the right position. And then there's the headrest piece but you could probably let that flop. Personally, I would just buy a split rear seat cover instead of taking a chance but then, I don't like paying for return postage if it doesn't work out! :)

Yes, when you install it in the backseat facing the rear. Works very well for my 6 month old granddaughter.

They would work for that purpose, but I would have to agree that they are a little too small/move around too much to adequately protect the diaper. We added these just to have a staydry layer between the prefold and our baby. For that purpose, they work great. I just chose a cloth diaper safe cream (Earth Mama baby bottom balm, which I love and highly recommend) so I wouldn't have to worry about it.

No, they do not fit the seats correctly and there's no instructions to put them on. I don't recommend them.

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.

Sorry, used ours on rear facing seat, so can't answer your question about bucket seats.

We have them on perforated leather in a Mecedes and yes, they seem to be doing a good job on protecting the leather from stretching under the car seats. The problem with some of the others is that the backing material can become glued to the seat. We have not seen that with this one, that is why we chose it.

I put them on a Ford F150 Super Duty. On the seats in my truck they go half way down the back of the seat. I don't think they would cover seat back storage.

I think they would work great! I am new to cloth diapering and really like these inserts so far. I lay them in all kinds of diapers to add absorption with little bulk, including covers and All In Ones. I usually put them behind another faster absorbing insert to use with my two year old. I have not tried them by themselves with a cover. They would work great combined with a prefold too. I would put them closest to the diaper cover since they absorb more slowly than prefolds.

Yes. We have two of these seats for both our kids. They've been using them rear-facing from about age 6m and have both since converted for forward-facing. The seat works well both ways. We think this is a good car seat, the kids seem to find it comfortable. They only real downside for us is that they are very wide, so with two of these in the back seat there is not much room left in the middle.

I don't see why not, but they are not sturdy seat covers. Fully exposed in the back, only held on to the seat by three buckles. Head strap breaks easily. So if say to steer away from this cover and pick the other one.

I use them on my 2.5yo, 35 lb toddler, though I pad fold them and then add a cover. No trouble at all.

Possibly because they don't wrap around the side of the seat. Pretty easy to install. I like mine.

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.

Lisa, I think you would have no trouble at all! The covers do not hinder anything at all, even a child seat. Hope this helps?

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.
