It doesn't smell. I had to return everything I had bought at Babies R Us due to a heavy rubber smell that never went away even after airing the products for a week.
It's made of two pieces so it can be used in stages. Use the bottom piece only when using a rear-facing infant seat, or both pieces when using a front-facing car seat.
It's made of two pieces so it fits any height car seat. I have a Britax car seat which is really tall. The other seat protectors did not reach all the way to the top of my SUV's seat, so the car seat rested directly on the leather, but with this seat protector, I could raise the back piece as high as I needed it to fully protect my SUV's seat.
It's thick enough that even after months of use, there's no marks on the SUV's leather seats.
It has indentations in the bottom portion to accommodate car seats using the latch system.
A note on the height issue: A friend of mine bought the Duomat 2-In-1 Car Seat Mat, which he found to be very nice as well and it did not smell. He had to return it however due to the fact that the mat was not as high as the seat of his Honda Odyssey, and his Britax Marathon car seat at the very top rested directly on the Honda seat with no protector in between.

I purchased this for my car which is a Jetta and this fits perfectly and protects the bottom and back of the leather seats. It even has a place cut out for the car seat locks to attach to the metal hooks on the car and also hides them. The storage compartment on the front is very useful and i like that this covers the entire car seat we have which is a Chicco. The car seat does not slide at all when sitting on this mat. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with leather seats.Best Deals for Diono Ultra Mat Car Seat Mat, Grey
My husband and I purchased one of these several years ago to go under our son's car seat and it has done a great job so we just purchased another one to go under our next son's car seat. Just FYI...Diono and Sunshine Kids...it's the same thing. One bought the other.Honest reviews on Diono Ultra Mat Car Seat Mat, Grey
I bought one a few years ago, and am back for another for the second kid. It's very durable and thanks to the thick padding, does a good job protecting the seat. It's even machine washable!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Diono Ultra Mat Car Seat Mat, Grey
Shipment was very fast. It was easy to use.The actual slits to access the latch/belts are wider than in former models or what it is shown in the pictures. I guess they acknowledged prior complaints of difficult access. However, the tongue that slides in between the seat and the back to secure mat in place, now is narrower; don't know if that has an impact on security; it does not seem to interfere with the installation because the grip of the rest of the fabric is good. It also leaves a wider gap that may allow spills to get to the seats.
The fabric of the protector bunched up a little after the car seats were installed, but I sealed-tight them to the maximum. They do not move at all.
It leaves 1-2 inch of exposed fabric on the side of the seat ( Honda Odyssey/ mid row seats). But it is wide and tall enough to protect the seat from the car seat (Britax Roundabout). And comparing measurements, reviews, and safe installation of car seats, this still seems to be the best choice in the market.
It has two pieces; one for the seat, one for the back, that overlap, leaving more room for adjustment in height. Color is darker than in pictures. It has no rubbery smell unlike others. Long term results ....do not know yet.
Addendum Be aware that for rear facing car seats, the constant rubbing of their feet against the back piece, detaches little pieces of plastic from the surface of the cover that are all over the place; I placed a thin pillow at that area to prevent that from happening. No other issues after 10 months.
