Reviews of Safefit Snack Pod, Grey

Customer Ratings:

Great concept IF.....IF.....it fits your carseat. We have the Britax Marathon and we have to lift up the fabric to get it to stay and even at that it is VERY easy to some off regardless of how we tighten it (Marathon has thick seat sides and the shape of the carseat side makes it hard for this product to work on it. I think it would work great on a different carseat perhaps but NOT the Britax Marathon...

Probably will be selling this on Ebay...again great idea and would be a great product IF it fits your seat!

I bought this to use on my daughter's carseat (Britax marathon.) It was ok while it lasted. My husband somehow broke the plastic arm that goes over the carseat right before we took off for a weekend road trip. I was dissapointed. It needs to be much more durable, it only lasted about a month. Maybe if that part was reinforced with metal or something it would be more durable.

I purchased this holder to fit on our Maclaren Umbrella Stroller. It works just fine and fits securely; however, it can not be angled in a way to be perfectly level for the stroller. So far, it has been the best product I have found to do what I need it to do and it is very affordable.

We have purchased 3 of these for our Evenflo Triumph Advance and so far, only one has survived. I've finally conceded that my car seat is just too thick for this cupholder and I should give it up :) The plastic clamp has broken in the same place on both of them. But I did love it for the double holder and the great cups with lids that came with it. I'm on the search again.

Don't have high expectations for this....it comes loose easily (I have a Britax Roundabout carseat) and finally it snapped off, the plastic broke. Won't be buying this again :(

Review of Xplory Car Seat Adapter

Customer Ratings:

All Stokke chairs lock when attached to the stroller with an indicator that turns green when locked. The adapter does lock to the stroller, but there is no lock on the car seat, which maintains in place by gravity, which I did not like. Overall, the adapter is very efficient, the only downside is this extra lock that does not take place.

These are easy to attach and remove from the Stokke.

They hold our Maxi Cosi securely in place.

Having the ability to keep our baby in its car seat while transferring to the stroller has been very convenient.

I would recommend this stroller attachment.

Diono Ultra Mat Car Seat Mat, Grey Review

Customer Ratings:

After using the Sunshine Kids Ultra Mat for 4 months, I purchased two more mats. This is the best seat protector I found for several reasons:

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.

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.

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!

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.

I just got a new 2005 Ford Freestyle with leather seats in place of my 2000 Ford Expedition with cloth seats. When I uninstalled my Britax Roundabout from the Expedition, there were obvious dents in the seat both from the base and the back of the car seat. I purchased this mat (in tan) for the new car to hopefully prevent these dents from happening with the leather seats. I can usually get my Roundabout to install very tightly and not even move AT ALL, let alone an inch. But with this mat, the base was sliding more than an inch. So I took the piece of non-skid shelf liner that the Fire Dept had given me a while ago, and which I had been using up until this point, and put it underneath the mat. That stopped all the sliding. I can already tell that the mat will prevent the dents. It seems to me the product manufacturers just need to add a non-skid layer to the bottom. But for now, the two layers together have gotten me back to a very tight installation with NO MOVEMENT WHATSOEVER! And I don't have to worry about scuffs and dents on the leather seats.

This protector does the job on preventing dents in leather seats.

Remember that these days any type of professional is afraid of a lawsuit, and do not want to use any type of aftermarket product that could interfere with their "professional" installation. That is why no one will approve these mats, or even cupholders on strollers anymore!!!

As a carseat safety fanatic, and being pretty educated on carseat installations I felt confident that I could make a decision if this was inhibiting a proper installation. I see no problems. To be sure the carseat is strapped in super tight, I sit in it as I pull the straps. It doesn't budge one centimeter left or right, or front to back.

This saver was easy to put in the car, and did not need to be adjusted a million times as I tightened in the carseat using LATCH & tether (we use the Britax Marathon). A previous saver bunched and made installation impossible, but this one is very thin, firm and stays put. The add on back was the perfect height, and did not block the tether strap in our F150. It also stayed upright as I put the carseat into place.

This blends in nicely with our black seats and looks good. It's available in three colors black, tan, and grey. Let's face it if you're interested in this product it's because you care how things will look long term!

This saver is a great combo of safety and function. While it may not perform perfectly with every single carseat/car combination if your seat is moving more than an inch in any direction it's not installed correctly whether you are using seat saver or not!

I have 4 of these seat savers in various colors (gray and tan no black). I have almost no complaints about these, they do their job. My only gripe is one that I have seen mentioned in other reviews here, and that is that the back section does not come up high enough....nowhere near as high as most carseats. As a result (depending on the carseat you use) there could be some marks left on the back of your seats.

As for the rest of my review, these seat savers do a great job. They are made of a semi hard rubber material and no matter what the base of your carseat is like, it will not damage or dent the bottom of your vehicle's seat surface. Many of the other brands are just fabric and foam and I feel like some carseats would press right through when anchored down tightly. Might as well use an old towel if that's the direction you are thinking about going in. An added benefit is these tend to catch a lot of dropped snacks and cereal and will contain anything spilled on them. That's a plus!

As for some of the complaints I have read here, anyone who says that their kids' carseats move around too much with these seat savers is simply NOT anchoring their carseats tightly enough. I have 4 of these seat savers and have used them in 3 different vehicles over the last 4 years and NONE of my carseats move. If you find your carseats moving around they are NOT tight enough....ask someone to help you tighten them. I have never seen any discoloration as a result of using these, though I have only used the tan and gray versions on tan, gray and black leather seats. I suppose it might be possible for the black seat savers to discolor a lighter color fabric or leather. I also saw a review that claimed the seat savers stick to leather and destroy the seats. I have never seen this happen in 4 years, though if I had to guess based on my experience, a child probably spilled some juice on the seat and it eventually "glued" the seat saver to the seats. My advice....clean up spills quickly and clean underneath your kids' carseats regularly and you will be fine!

Honest reviews on Prince Lionheart 2 Stage Seatsaver

I went to BRU to try and purchase the all rubber Lionheart seat protector and they didn't have it. I was pretty much dead set against this one because of the "professionals" review. Well, (with help from the guy from BRU, we took this one out of the package and pulled my car seat off of the display. We then tried it out on the seat that they have available at BRU for just such tests. It was fine. I just installed it in my vehicle (Envoy XL) it doesn't have the largest seats in the world and this fit just fine. No, it didn't completely cover the back of the seat, but it wasn't made to. Most indentations occur on the seat bottom and the mid section of the seat. This covers all of that just fine. I don't know why the "professional" says that this protector is too thick...it isn't thick at all. Go to BRU and have one of their friendly folks do a demonstration. I give it 2 thumbs up!

I was a bit surprised to remove the seat protector after about a year and discover that it had damaged small patches of the leather seat under it. It appears that the non-slip coating on the bottom adhered to the leather, and when I pulled it off it took some of the leather dye with it. If it matters to anyone this was in an '04 BMW 330 with leather (not leatherette).

Unfortunately I can't recommend this product because it didn't do the one thing that it was supposed to.

For reference I have a car seat installed in my other car without the seat protector, and the car seat has not caused any damage at all. I wish I hadn't bothered with this.

If you are going to use it with leather my recommendations would be a) put a nice coat of leather conditioner on the seat, and remove the seat protector every so often and reapply the conditioner or b) put a thin soft cloth underneath to create a barrier between the seat and the nonstick layer (although this may cause the car seat to slip about).
