Car seat back protector

Not sure where to post this, but those of you with little kiddos in the back, what are you using for seat back protectors? My previous ones don’t fit well due to the shape of the headrest meeting the seat. They’re obviously not like standard seats in most cars.

I have the standard M sport seats not the carbon buckets.

Any suggestions?

Have you thought about just PPF’ing the rear assembly of the seat? You could pop off the lid like they do if you were to install the aftermarket carbon back-

But instead of replacing, just wrap it. You’ll be able to tuck the corners very nicely and I think it would look clean?

Otherwise I hear Dinmann makes a nice solution lol �� https://www.suvneermotorsports.com/p...40820412973206

I saw this post and a few others when looking for these for my new m3. I wasnt even going to try the ones I had since it seemed folks were finding the usual seat protectors didnt fit, but I decided to try it and they fit perfect! These are the ones I have.

well if your kids are younger as in really young, take their shoes off. My child is 6 and I tell her to keep her feet off the back of the seat and console. She's good at listening and that has worked well for me.

Yup; once I realized seat protectors won't work, I've had a no shoe policy for my kids. Wife thinks I'm ridiculous, but my kids (5 and 3) are cool with it lol.

At least my wife agrees lol. Kids like their shoes off anyways. At least that's my reasoning.

With standard seats, not sure I'd worry too much.

They're black plastic backs, which should hold up reasonably well.

I've had young kids in the back of my last 2 M3s and didn't have any out of the ordinary wear.

Carbon buckets are a different story, however.

Great, my 3.5 year old constantly smushes his feet into the seat back. Without the PPF they would be totally messed up.

You have carbon buckets or regular seats?

Any other back seat covers that work well with the carbons?
