Frequently Asked Questions

What size car seat covers do I need?

Many car seat covers are universally sized, which means that they fit most make and models of cars. If you choose a car seat cover that is specifically sized, you’ll need to ensure it fits your car. We’ll list a few common sizes, but in order to be completely sure the car seat cover you choose fits your car, you may need to check with the manufacturer of the car seat cover. Size 90 is intended for a front high backbench car seat. Size 06/06H allows for adjustable headrests, but doesn’t permit armrests or folding seats. Size A or size 301 is most often used in vans. Size 30A is recommended for built-in airbags. Size B or size 401 is ideal for front bucket seats and ¾ benches.

Can you put seat covers on heated leather seats?

Most seat covers are compatible with heated seats. However, to ensure you purchase the right car seat cover from the onset, it’s important to check with the manufacturer. Make that the material of the car seat cover will not be affected with the heat from the seats and that you will still be able to feel the toastiness of your heated seats through the cover.

How can I protect my car seat from a child car seat?

Child car seats can wreck havoc on your car’s interior. They’re installed tightly, which can dent your seat. Plus, your child will likely eat and drink in their seat, causing spills and debris to fall onto your car’s interior. To protect your seat, you can install a car seat cover underneath your child’s car seat. Just insure that the car seat cover is compatible with your child’s car seat and will not impact the safety of the car seat. You’ll need to ensure that the LATCH system is still accessible and that the car seat fits snugly accordingly to safety regulations.
