deffinately get something to cover and protect that leather. I have a sheepskin thing to cover my seat up.

and FYI having a carseat in the back is great for when you get pulled over especially for you guys. a cop sees that you are a thoughtful dad and the next thing you know you get off with a warning.

and congradulations on the little one. enjoy them while they are small and can't talk.

 

Thanks for the great info. Not due until July 1 (Canada's Birthday), so I have a couple of months to work out the child seat issue.

 

Chaos,

Congrats on the upcoming birth. My wife and I are 7 weeks behind you guys. We are due 8/17. I appreciate the info generated by your question.

On another topic....
I'm coming to the Stars-Sens game 2/27. How cold has it been there this winter?

Go Stars!

We use these to protect the seats in my wife's van http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...733418-2240015



The seat saver is made of a thick rubber and will not leave indentations. I would not use a pillow or anything padded as this will take away from the secure fit of a car seat. Also, go to your local fire department and have them check out your installation of your car seat. I can bet you that you do not have it tight enough. Over 80% of car seats are installed incorrectly.

 

do those come in different colors?

 

 

They come in dark blue, grey, tan and black. Click the link and it shows the other colors. They sell them at all Babie's-R-Us stores but Tan is pretty hard to find. I had to sign up to let Amazon tell me when one was available and I ordered it from their site.

I also had to make a mod to the seat cover where the Latch anchors are becasue it covers them up. I just drew a line on the cover and cut it out with a utility knife. It is pretty thick rubber and easy to cut. We now have two of them in my wife's new Honda Odyssey.

The company who makes them is Prince Lionheart http://www.princelionheart.com

 

i was in a hurry at the time but i have now gone to the site, pretty cool. is the price the same at babies r us?

 

It's been cold here (-40 degrees Celcius with the windchill two nights ago.)
It is warming up though, not a lot , but some.
Enjoy our triumphant, but not well paid Senators! Latest is that Rod Bryden is going to keep the team, creditors have taken losses, I guess.
Go Sens Go!

 

ya know they also make something that protects the back of the seat from the munchkins little dirty feet.

 

pkagel,

I think that they are the same price in the store but you would save a little because you would not pay shipping.

Here is what I paid:

Here is the seat back protector http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...704864-0327169

 

The seat save is cool, didn't even know they made such a thing.

As far as it being tight enough with the pillow method, I had my old next door neighbor (a cop that did work checking seats) and he said it was fine.

General rule is the seat should not give without really tuggin on it. It is not easy any way you do it. One trick that works in the expedition is to lean the seat back when you put the seat in, then when you lean it forward it puts even more tension on it. CAn't do that in a S-crew though, just gotta get that knee in there and give it all you got.

 

i guess those plastic things would have prevented skagel's and my legs from being wacked on a daily basis when we were young.
