Looking for some car seat covers...

I'm just looking for something to protect the seats and inside of the car from my son. He's going to be a messy lil boy. Anyone have feedback on these(or suggestions):

also, how durable are these? I have a 9month old that's going to be putting these to the test in the next year or so.

Me and my brother installed it 2.5 hours, but our fingers were sore afterward. I can't speak for durability, since I only had them for 6 months and 4000 miles, but they still look new on mine.

this thread has a lot of feedback when they were first introduced:

Beangarage has 10% discounts every few months, so that should save you a few dollars too.

Thanks a bunch for your input. I appreciate it. Since I'm not in a rush for these, I'll wait for the discount code. How do I find out about the discount codes? Also, 2.5 hours with 2 people...sounds like a fun Saturday afternnon. Since it's winter here, I think I'll hold off for now. lol

those ebay covers don't support the 60/40 split in the rear seats, so I would avoid them.

I personally bought Coverking Neoprene seat covers (through Costco). At the moment, they cost $350 to cover all the seats.

Who has Clazzios for $270? I looked through, and while there is mention of $270 (forum post from April)... if you look at specifics for the Fit at the actual site, they're all $450.

I just went by that one post in the forum for the pvc vinyl for $270. oh well...guess I'll just have to wait until they get more. its a good thing im not in a rush cause its too damn cold to be doing this install anyways.

I have the Clazzios--have had them since March 2010...they still look brand new.
I love them and would not hesitate to repurchase or recommend.

The Clazzios look really nice.

So I hate to be the rain on the parade, but do the covers accommodate the side impact airbags?

Side Airbag


The thread used for Clazzio stitching is specially designed for side airbag. It has been proven that the thread will break in the event if the side airbag deploying. (seat cover must be installed properly)
