No kidding! How exactly did that conversation go? "Hey honey, you mind sitting in the back seat for a couple of hours so that your *** can iron out the wrinkles in the seat. Oh yeah, and while you're up, fetch me a Bud."

I've been using a Britax Marathon convertible car seat, for nearly two years now, in my Grand Cherokee and it has not left permanent indentations in the leather (which returns to normal a day after removing the car seat). Prior to the Marathon, I used a Peg Perego Prima Viaggio infant seat and it didn't leave any indentions.

The key has been the "Original Seatsaver" from Prince Lioheart. They are made from heavy-duty rubber (nearly a 1/4" thick) to protect your vehicle's seat and do a great job at keeping the child seat from slipping.

I tried the towel method but felt there was too much cushion between the child seat and the vehicle's seat. I also didn't care to try the foam seat protectors because foam compresses too easily and wouldn't offer enough protection when you properly install a child seat.

That came out wrong. The catch was that there were 3 adults in the car. The passenger was 6'-4" and needed additional leg room, so she volunteered to sit in the back seat. She would kill me if I came out and asked her to sit in back. She is a size 4 so fat is not a concern. I was just trying to demonstrate how easy is is to get any indentations out. My 210 lb would be the anchor. I have 100 lbs on her. Let's get real here.

 

Daddy - I think we all assumed that was the scenario... we're just having a bit of fun with it. (But hell, there are LOTS of times I'd like my wife to sit in the back seat! LOL.)
