Two of them are hold overs from our Subaru Tribeca. They are VERY durable. We have three kids. My wife's Tribeca was TRASHED when we sold it for the Pacifica (quite the expensive detailing bill), but the seats under these Summer Infant Elite DuoMats was PRISTINE like we just bought it.
We have Four of these in our Van.

They work AMAZING.

I was just about to buy this one but I noticed that yours has better padding. Do you happen to have pictures of it installed in your Pacifica so I can get a better idea of coverage?
I have Royal Oxford Luxury car seat protector. They are ultra durable and made of PVC leather. It also has advanced transparent anti-slip PVC dots to extra grip to keep the mat securely in a place.
I've had the prince lionheart leather seat protectors for almost 9 years. They are doing a good job now that my kids are in boosters and did a good job of preventing scuffs or other markings of the leather in my 06 acura tl (replaced with pacifica) as well as keeping the crumbs and sand contained. However, when the kids were in regular car seats, the child seat is so tight to the car's seat and left squished into place for years resulting in permanent indentations in the leather seat. I don't think any seat protector can prevent that if the child seat is properly installed. I

Does anyone just use towels under their seats? We currently do that but I wouldn't be opposed to something more stylish. I am worried about the rubber residue if that is a thing, since our cars heat up to who knows how much when it's 115 outside. These are on sale today on amazon.. https://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infan...3&sr=8-1&keywords=Summer+Infant+-+DuoMat&th=1
We haven't had any melting on the underside whatsoever. We have had some "wear" from general rubbing as the kids climb in and out of booster seats slightly moving the protector, but after ... more than 5 years of use I'd call that acceptable! I'll try to grab some pictures of the underside. FYI for relative temperatures we live in Maryland and my previous vehicle had black leather seats. The Pacifica has the alloy leather seats and no sign of melting (though it's Winter). The Rubber on the elite mats is grey so I don't know where any black residue would possibly come from.
We have 2 Diono Radian RXTs (1 rear and 1 front facing) and swapped out our Price Lionheart protectors for Diono's own Ultra Mat when we got our last van. There was nothing particularly *wrong* with the Prince Lionheart protectors but they were too stiff for our liking which in my opinion made it harder for me to get the seats installed to where they felt stable. Diono told us that they perform crash testing with their mats in place and certifies the combo. We took the mats out of our 3 year old T&C to transfer everything to our Pacifica and the seats were in perfect shape.
I have the Brica seat protector too. When the older kids used car seats, I had the Prince Lionheart ones and man were those things pricey! Glad they got some competition.
What I need is a seat protector for the seat next to the car seat. My daughter climbs into her rear facing Diono by standing on the seat next to it and kicks that seat back while sitting in the car seat.
I have the Brica seat protector too and they work pretty well. I believe the rubber under is needed for the grip. I put a cloth towel under that in case it is going to leave any marks. I have it on the beige seat without the towel and I haven't seen any marks.
None of these are crash tested unless specifically listed in the manual, mostly meaning the brand that matches the seat. Our car insurance voids coverage if there's an accident with injury and a 3rd party item is used. Most do they just don't tell you. You really don't need them. Seats are made flat now so people stopped using these.
Does anyone know if there is a company that makes a seat cover that splits 60/40 for the rear bench, AND covers the floor when the seats are down. I'd assume it would be pretty complicated to make all that work with the seats folding into the floor the way they do.
So got my son a milkshake the other day. The shop still uses styrofoam. Well on the way home he starts yelling, I look back and the dude put his thumb through the side of the cup and the shake was pouring out all over him. I thought I got it mostly cleaned up but knew I'd need to take his seat apart to wash it.
Well I get around to it that evening and thank god for the seat protector because the shake oozed through the car seat and was pooled on the protector. Without it it would have been all into the perforated seats. Phew!
Lol. Can completely relate. This is the type of product where you almost need to go through some "spills boot camp" to realize how handy (and stress relieving) it can potentially be.
Btw, the royal oxford cover is holding up simply fine, no slippage.
Almost every car seat protector you guys listed above and others I have seen on Amazon all have reviews saying they melted onto leather seats. This makes me super nervous. I am currently using thick towels under the seats, but something else would be better for sure. HELP!
I have had 2 of the Diono Ultra mats installed under 2 Diono Radian RXT's for at least 2 years in our previous 2013 T&C with light gray leather seats, and these same mats now in our Pacifica with Alloy leather interior for 10 months. No issues.
I also have 2 Britax Vehicle Seat Protectors installed under 2 Britax Pioneer's for the last 7 months in my 2016 Ram 2500 with black leather, also with no issues.
When I went to a car seat inspection the inspector advised against using a car seat protector. Said they defeat the rubber base of the car seat, which is designed to limit sliding during a collision.
I would say this is very true, except when the car seat protector is branded by the seat manufacturer and crash tested along with the seat. This is absolutely the case with Diono, and I believe Britax as well.
For the gas model there is only one choice for the 2nd row and seems to be the 7 seater version.
