Baby Products Reviews of Prince Lionheart Two Stage Seat Saver, Black
Customer Review: This is Great - "Pros" Are Afraid of Lawsuits!
Summary: 4 Stars
This protector does the job on preventing dents in leather seats.
Remember that these days any type of professional is afraid of a lawsuit, and do not want to use any type of aftermarket product that could interfere with their "professional" installation. That is why no one will approve these mats, or even cupholders on strollers anymore!!!
As a carseat safety fanatic, and being pretty educated on carseat installations I felt confident that I could make a decision if this was inhibiting a proper installation. I see no problems. To be sure the carseat is strapped in super tight, I sit in it as I pull the straps. It doesn't budge one centimeter left or right, or front to back.
This saver was easy to put in the car, and did not need to be adjusted a million times as I tightened in the carseat using LATCH & tether (we use the Britax Marathon). A previous saver bunched and made installation impossible, but this one is very thin, firm and stays put. The add on back was the perfect height, and did not block the tether strap in our F150. It also stayed upright as I put the carseat into place.
This blends in nicely with our black seats and looks good. It's available in three colors - black, tan, and grey. Let's face it - if you're interested in this product it's because you care how things will look long term!
This saver is a great combo of safety and function. While it may not perform perfectly with every single carseat/car combination - if your seat is moving more than an inch in any direction it's not installed correctly whether you are using seat saver or not!
Customer Review: great product
Summary: 5 Stars
firstly whoever said in their review that this item was "not recommended by public safety officials" and then instead recommended a "rug pad" is giving false information. I have had seats with this exact protector in for a checkup and both times the inspector thought this item was an "excellent addition" and would actually help keep the seat in place by reducing the seat sag and upolstery stretching which happens without it! A rug pad is a silly suggestion.If you know anything about infant seats and boosters you know your seat is not held in any way, shape, or form by friction from the base, but by the belts and latches. you could oil yuor leather seats and it wouldn't harm the car seat's safety. what does harm your car seat safety is loosing of the belts caused by slow crushing of the cars' seat bolstering and this prevents it more than a towel or a "rug pad"!
now onto the utility. this protector is the only one we have seen or used that is firm enough to reduce permanent depressions in a the car's seat and with a lip that does a good job at catching liquid and crumbs. If you have several messy kids you are better off getting a custom $150 to $250 washable full cover. Short of that, this item is affordable, offers great protection and is easy to use. it works great on benches or buckets.
Lastly a "rug pad" is a very uninformed suggestion. rug pads bleed color. sounds like a good way to stain your seats over time.
Customer Review: Helpful cover to protect your seats.
Summary: 4 Stars
I just had leather installed in the seats of my car so I figured I should buy something to protect them from my baby's car seat. I decided to give this product a try since the Lionheart brand has been very good in my experience with it. This item is fairly large, it will surely cover the seating area where the car seat goes, and a bit more also. I own an Chevrolet Equinox SUV, so I have medium sized space in the back seating area, so for me is not that troublesome. If you own a small car, you might want to rethink this purchase, because this seat saver will definitely take space from the other seating spaces in your car...people would have to seat over part of it, no kidding. It has a gray synthetic mesh underneath to help it adhere to the surface to prevent slippage. I read complaints about this gray material staining the surface underneath...I have not had that experience after a month of use, but were already on cooler climate, so that might explain it since these accidents are related to hot weather. If it happens I'll update this review for sure. Bottom line is that it is a very decent product and does what it is supposed to do, which is protect the seating surface. I would recommend it.Customer Review: Excellent Product

We bought this online to protect the upholstery in our new SUV--we had just traded in a truck that was only a year old and even with towels under the carseat, there were terrible marks from the sharp pressure points on the back of the seat.
I love that this mat has two pieces so we could put the base completely under the carseat then move the top high enough to separate the carseat from the top of the truck seat. And it just so happens that our Eddie Bauer car seat has a strip of velcro on the back that this seat mat sticks to so when we move the seat from vehicle to vehicle it stays with the seat (the velcro is on the bottom of the map so we keep it upside down).
The whole thing is super easy to work with and clean and keeps all of the crumbs and dirt out of our upholstery. But most importantly the carseat can still be tight and safe against the seat without causing damage.
This is a terrific product and I recommend it to all of my friends and family. There is also a product I bought at Target called the Super Mat that is great too, but it is only for a booster, without a piece to protect the back of the seat.
Customer Review: New improved design-spring 2004
Summary: 5 Stars
We just purchased two of these to protect the leather seats in our new conversion van. Previous reviewers mentioned a velcro problem. The company must have redesigned these recently. Ours have a strip of velcro along the width of the top and bottom pieces. In addition, the middle portion has a half-circle of velcro 8-10 inches long. The velcro held strong when the car seat was tightened. There was no problem using this pad with the LATCH system or the coventional seatbelt method. The pad is thick and appears very durable with sides that have "walls" to contain any spills. If I had to list a con, the depth is not quite long enough for the pad to bend over the front of our third row's bench seat (it does come right to the end to protect where lil' ones rest their feet). But, this is the type of seat that converts to a bed and is deeper than conventional bench seats. This pad covers the captains chairs easily and I'm confident it would cover standard bench seats just fine.
Overall, it was an inexpensive solution to protect the seats from spills and indentations. I would highly recommend purchasing this two stage protector!!!
