Rear Seat protection for my F11

Jocky Wilson · 03-01-2014, 05:36 AM

I'm due to take delivery of my new F11 in 2-3 weeks. The challenge I have is that I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old chomping at the bit to turn my Venetian Dakota Leather into a chocolate & vomit slurry.

With that in mind I was wondering if anyone could recommend some decent rear seat protectors? What ever I get is going to have to facilitate 2 ISOFIX Car seats in the rear.

I've looked at a few options on Amazon but the reviews are typically along the lines of "This was a really cheap option and it turned out to be rubbish. I wish I'd spent more on a decent rear seat cover". But I can't work out what that decent rear seat cover is or where I can get it.

Anyone had any experience in this area?

I have a similar issue with my 3 yr old twins. I went on Amazon and ordered the BRICA seat guardian car seat protector and the Kick Mats - Deluxe Car Seat Back Protectors (2 pack) by Freddie & Sebbie. The seat guardians are very durable and protect the leather under the car seat. However, they do not extend across the entire back seat, only under the car seat. The kick mats are ok and serve their purpose. To date, no complaints with this set up.

Mine held up fine for 3 years. Kids were 11, 6 & 3 at the outset. I kept a pack of wet wipes handy and had no issues. Feet on the back of the drivers seat was more of an issue. Stains I could not get out completely.

Really appreciate your advice guys, Plenty of info for me to chew on here!!!

...and thank PanaricanDad for actually photographing your installation and posting it on here for me.

I have used similar back covers to Panarican, got them from Halfords, leather seats not so much of an issue, I just used a towel and took it all out weekly to wet wipe the leather.
