He pulls it down sometimes but it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protecting-your-car-seat-without-a-car-seat-protector#post-2344084 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 10:38:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2344084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know they are a no-no but car seat companies sell them. We bought some at BRU that go up the back of the seat. They have rubber on the top and bottom so the car seat doesn't slip. </p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/buy/travel-accessories/brica-car-seat-guardian-plus-grey-60008-17200846" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/buy/travel-accessories/brica-car-seat-guardian-plus-grey-60008-17200846</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protecting-your-car-seat-without-a-car-seat-protector#post-2344073 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 10:35:27 +0000 kiddosc 2344073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could only find seat protectors for forward facing and they would have had to be modified to work RF, so I made one. It's just a piece of cloth sewed over a towel with button holes to fit the headrest through. I am not a sewer, but this was an easy project. You could probably even just use a towel. It was easy to whip off and wash when needed. </p> [attach=1439/15/nxarb3.600x600.IMG_20150216_081530.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protecting-your-car-seat-without-a-car-seat-protector#post-2343937 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 09:52:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2343937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have also seen people put a t shirt over the seat back. As long as you put it on after the seat is installed it's not interfering with safety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protecting-your-car-seat-without-a-car-seat-protector#post-2343847 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 08:44:35 +0000 HazelEyes 2343847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: brilliant. I didn't know they existed. this is exactly what I was looking for but didn't know what to look for! :) Thx!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protecting-your-car-seat-without-a-car-seat-protector#post-2343837 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 08:39:35 +0000 looch 2343837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are some kick mats (i think they're intended for ff and the rear of the front seat) that you might be able to use. They don't have a piece that goes under the car seat and over the seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protecting-your-car-seat-without-a-car-seat-protector#post-2343829 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 08:35:23 +0000 HazelEyes 2343829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: No :( cloth. Next car that will be a definite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protecting-your-car-seat-without-a-car-seat-protector#post-2343826 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 08:33:23 +0000 MrsSRS 2343826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have leather seats? I bet Press and Seal would stick to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protecting-your-car-seat-without-a-car-seat-protector#post-2343803 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 08:07:53 +0000 HazelEyes 2343803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my 19 month old LOVES the dirt and the sandbox, and since he is still rearfacing that means muddy, sandfilled shoes after daycare. </p> <p>So, carseat protectors are supposed to be a nono for safety, and he is not ready to face forward yet. So, my question, I guess is, does anyone have a hack for keeping the nastiness off the back of the seat without taking off his sneakers? (He has a MELTDOWN whenever we take off his shoes, so if I can avoid it that would be awesome.) Do you put a sheet up? Just resign yourself to destroying the material? Take his shoes off and make that a new routine (ugh)? </p>
