Auto bucket seat saver ???

[spike99]

My wife and I bought a new mini-van (to replace our current mini-van) with middle bucket seats. My special needs son doesn't have 100% bladder control. Especially during long drive trips. Anyone try auto Car Seat Saver / Protector for themselves, for their other family members and/or their pets? If yes, what's your pros / cons and/or Lessons Learned on your product? Any feedback on product shown below? thanks.

I have not tried that, but i see some flaws unless your son is in a car seat or booster seat to keep it staying in place.
If he is in a car seat it will probably work, but if he sits in the seat i think it would bunch up & move around too much

I have tried this (mine is in my car now & working great for over 8 years--went thru 3 collies & still in there for the beagle); www.chewy.com/solvit-waterproof-sta-put-hammock/dp/53697
It's made out of canvas & nothing has ever seeped thru it. It works great for the dogs because they 'jump' in & out of the car.
However, my son got one thinking it would be great with kids too & he said it didn't work with humans because they sit & then sliiide into the seat & then wiggle around so the straps got torn up fast.
It also does not have the padding though to keep car seats from putting 'dents' into the seat.

I see now days they have some covers kind of like the one i have, it does have 'strap' to hold at top, but i sure like the way these go all the way down the sides of the seat (for drool or throwing up it protects side of seat);

this looks like it covers good, but not sure if it 'looks neat' enough that you'd like;

Update:

Last weekend, we bought 3 different car seat protectors (knowing we would return 2 of them). One was a water resistant thin material simple "slip over", one was a deep foam padding that sat on top and one was a design of both outer extremes. We tried ALL 3 and found the slip over with medium size "absorption" foam thickness padding worked the best. re: - click here -

Details: IMO, thick foam is a great `white board` design but it moved around on the seat too much. Especially when getting in / out of our high seat ground clearance mini-van. The thin material was water resistant but the liquid would roll off / onto the floor. re: It kept the bucket seat dry but the floor would get wet instead. The "between design" product that we found the best absorbed / held the water and its underside stuck to the seat surface really good. Thus, we kept it - returning the other 2 products. Sometimes buying the lower cost product is the best product in the long run. re: - click here -

Note: The medium thick foam works so great, we bought 2 for my son's bucket seat and 1 for my driver's seat. Thus, allowing me to keep the driver's seat clean and dry as well.

Hope this helps - if others are looking for similar product as well.
