Baby Products Reviews of Munchkin Auto Seat Protector
Customer Review: Works, with some caveats
Summary: 4 Stars
We've had one of these installed on one seat for a few years and the condition of the seat without the seat protector versus the one with the seat protector is obvious. This works.
There are two drawbacks, however:
1) the protector doesn't go high enough up the back. There is still lots of wear on the seat back because of the lack of protection there. This is the biggest disadvantage for me.
2) it makes the seat slipperier. Tight installation of the carseat is more difficult to achieve, although that may be less problematic with newer carseat latch system. I do have the best method for tightening those seats that still use straps for installation. If you have the captain style chairs, install the seat tightly with the chair reclined and then push that seat back up as far as possible and your carseat will not budge, not even a millimeter; and the slipperiness of the seat protector is moot.
Customer Review: It stinks - literally.

I received this auto mat yesterday along with several other baby items from Amazon. When I opened the box, I was just about knocked over by the chemical smell. It was like holding a giant permanent marker up to my nose. I could smell it on my hands after handling it. The mat has been out on the back porch since I took it out of the box, and as soon as I open the door, I can smell it though it is at least 5 feet away. I can not imagine how bad it would be after sitting in an enclosed hot car all day. I had to put the fabric items that came along in the shipment outside to air out as well.
I saw a review that mentioned "sturdy fabric" which confuses me because the one I received is 90% plastic that I guess is supposed to resemble faux leather. The only fabric on the one I received is the 1cm binding around the edges and the small pocket that hangs off the bottom.
Customer Review: Great Protector
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my daughter when I also got her a car seat for her baby. After all, she had just gotten a new used Lexus with leather seats and I sure didn't want those seats torn with the car seat. I had that happen with my old car and wanted to help her prevent that.
I don't personally use it, but I sit beside it (in the back seat!) often and see that it seems to be doing the job nicely. Each time I look at it I feel a sense of happiness that this beautiful car's seats are being protected as best they can.
We have not yet figured out how to connect the seat to the latch system, only because we haven't had the time to read the instructions on the seat. I think there should be no problem with using this AND connecting to the latches, but I cannot vouch for that yet.
Customer Review: Must have for protecting your seats
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought 2 of these seat protectors for both of my car seats. I had been using a towel under the car seats to protect from food dropping and from the car seats making dents in the leather seats. The towels ended up being more of a hassle since they move around and do not look that great! The seat protectors have a flap that slides in between the seat and back rest so it can be secured to prevent shifting. The car seats fit on it without any problem. I have one booster seat and another convertible car seat. The pocket in the front is also useful to store water bottles and food! I have black leather seats so they blend in with the upholstery. I would highly recommend this product and I have since bought about 6 of these for both of my cars and my parents car.
Customer Review: Problem solved at a fair price
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this in my car a little over a year now (I use it with the Britax Advocate 65 CS Click & Safe Convertible Car Seat, Onyx).
I found it was easy to position and has done a great job at keeping the fabric upholstery in my car from becoming badly creased by the weight of the car seat.
I have a light color fabric and there has been no problem with dye bleeding onto my car. I think for the price, this is a great product and I'd recommend it. It's also handy because it has a little bag that you can use for a pacifer (makes it easy to locate a spare while driving).
