DuoMat for Car Seat, Black

When I needed a seat protector for my granddaughter’s car seat, my daughter recommended the “Summer Infant Elite DuoMat for Car Seat, Black”. In 2011, I purchased a Prince Lionheart 2 Stage Seatsaver for my grandson’s car seat. While I liked its beige color, that particular two-piece seat protector did not provide complete coverage of the seat. In contrast, the “Summer Infant Elite DuoMat for Car Seat Black” completely covers the seat of my Toyota Highlander. Further, the pocket on the front of the DuoMat hangs over the front edge of the seat and provides additional protection to the front of the seat base. I liked the construction of the “Summer Infant Elite DuoMat for Car Seat Black”. The back, bottom, and pocket join into one continuous unit. Because you do not have to be concerned about positioning both pieces correct, that makes installation less “irritating”. A heavy-duty, twill-like tape binds the entire outer edge of the DuoMat. Strategically located fold-lines result in better fit of the DuoMat to your specific vehicle. In the event of an accident, the non-skid backing helps minimize the chance that the DuoMat will slide. I am using the “Summer Infant Elite DuoMat for Car Seat Black” with a rear-facing infant seat, so I decided to sew ties made from double-fold bias tape onto the back top-edge binding. This allowed me to secure the DuoMat’s back to the headrest posts and helped prevent the back from flopping over. Although I could have folded the DuoMat’s back down, I preferred having the entire back of my vehicle’s seat protected. It would have been nice if the manufacturer had recognized that parents/grandparents might prefer to secure the seat protector’s back and had put ties on the DuoMat. I would have liked it if I had had another color option when I purchased the DuoMat. Although black does not show the dirt, it absorbs heat and in Texas that is something to consider. Further, because my car’s interior is a light tan, if the “Summer Infant Elite DuoMat for Car Seat, Black” does stick or transfer color to the leather, it will be more noticeable. I am very pleased with the “Summer Infant Elite DuoMat for Car Seat, Black”. I would recommend it to anyone needing a car seat protector. The things I did not care for were not significant enough to warrant subtracting a star.

We recently leased a new vehicle and wanted to add a layer of protection, so we purchased these covers. In our previous vehicle, the car seats left an imprint in the leather when tightened in place over long periods of time, which they were most of the time. There were also incidences of spilled milk, juice, and snacks, so we felt these covers would protect from that as well. We chose these covers over the other, lesser expensive, options due to their size (providing adequate coverage for larger convertible car seats), thickness (eliminating the imprint left in leather when seats are installed for long periods of time), and overall quality. The covers fit nicely in our SUV, I especially like the non-slip material on the back, keeping them in place, and the mesh pockets on the front for storage (you can never have enough). When we purchased these, they were only marginally more than the smaller options, making them a great value, but prices are subject to change as they are more expensive at the time of this review than what we paid for them. Regardless, even at their current price, I feel they are a good value compared to the other options available.

My wife and I bought a new car not too long ago and, with leather seats, we definitely wanted to make sure that the seat was protected from our crazy children. They destroy everything. Kids are mini tornadoes that do not care about anything nice. Thankfully, these car seat protectors have saved my precious car from food, drinks, blood, snot, tears, and any other mess that you can possibly imagine. These seat protectors are literally magic. I feel bad for anyone who had issues with glue sticking or the item not working properly. My advice to anyone who has issues with them is to replace them with the exact same product and try again. They are amazing and I would not recommend any other product. I feel bad that some people are saying not to buy this product, because I can't tell you how many times it has prevented some serious internal frustration of having children. Now I can just let them throw food all around the back seat and not worry about my leather getting messed up!

I purchased this to protect the leather seats in my car and it works great! it is very secure and easily attached to the seats. I love the foot area of the protector - you can put snacks or pacis in there. The quality is very sturdy and thick. You can tell it will protect the seat very well. It will fit most any seat and even has slits where the carseat can still snap in. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to protect their seats in their car.

This is a great way to create a barrier between my child's car seat and my brand new car's seat. It covers the base well and has a thicker pad there so there won't be indentations from the car seat left behind. We have the seat covering the back of the seat in it's entirety, though you can have it folded down to only cover where your child's feet with touch if they are rear facing. My son is forward facing at this point. The material is easy to clean. It would be simple to spot clean or even toss in the washing machine, though it shouldn't ever get that dirty. I like that there is a small compartment that hangs over the seat that you can store things like small toys or snack bags and sippy cups, though most car seats can hold sippy cups too. Just one more way to stay organized and clean in your vehicle. We're actually going to purchase another of these for my other child's booster seat. Great buy for the price as well. We have used other items by the brand Summer and have been pleased. They are manufactured well and hold up well over time, so I have no doubt this will be the same way.

Just removed this from my car and it did an excellent job in keeping the leather minimally dented. I have a black car with black leather and it didn't melt into the seat at all. I hadn't take this thing out in 2 years either. It fit nicely in a Lexus ES330 by covering the entire seat - bottom and back. I'm buying some for my RX now since they held up so well. Highly recommend these if you want to keep your leather clean and minimally dented.

I bought this years ago, and returned it when my son was in a rear facing seat, I recently repurchased it now that he faces forward. My SUV has leather seats and was being DESTROYED by milkshake spills and the like. Which all in all, I'm okay with - but figured I'd give this a try to make cleaning my car a little easier. WHAT A DREAM. I pulled the seat out the other day to find this covered in milkshake, stuck fruit snacks, etc. I put it in the sink with hot water and a scrubby and viola - all clean, and the seat stayed fresh. It also comes with a piece that you stuff in between the bottom and top rest, so it doesn't shift at all, which makes it seem a bit safer to me. Here's the one downside - (could be an upside) my seats are relatively narrow, and this is wide, so although there is a cutout, I still have to dick with the seat belt a bit to get it around this and latch the seat belt properly.

Easy to use, and includes storage for baby things. Seems to protect seats well, decently thick fabric. Note: I have seen the 1-star reviews about the back of this "melting" in hot weather. It seems like people have probably posted reviews of a different product. There is nothing to melt on the backing, it's all fabric. So, either the design has changed, or people are posting about the wrong product. There isn't much complication to this product, it's thick sewn fabric to protect your seats. I have a graco connect 35 car seat base, it fits right over this and and latches to the built-in "anchor" points in my seats on my 2004 accord just fine. install is a no-brainer. The only con that I can identify is that if you have a smaller car, or the front seat is slid back, and the carset is installed, it can be difficult to access the "storage pouch." But hey, they couldn't put it elsewhere, and it's a problem of your car size. Overall, good product.
