A car seat cover protects a vehicle’s original upholstery, slowing depreciation, and adds a customized appearance to the interior. The best covers also clean easily with a damp cloth or are removable for washing. They also ward off pet hair, sticky fingers, and messy spills. Some even have built-in cup holders to stow toys, snacks and other gear.
For the ultimate in protection, look for a waterproof neoprene cover. Our pick, the Gorla Gear Black Premium Universal Fit Waterproof Stain Resistant Car Seat Cover has more than 5,000 five-star reviews on Amazon and features an impressive array of color and pattern options. The cover slips over the front or back of rear bucket or bench seats and connects with Velcro straps. It includes a nylon liner for extra protection, a nonslip backing and a lifetime warranty.
Cleaning vomit out of a car seat — especially the straps — is a parent’s worst nightmare. To make this job easier, have your prone-to-puking child wear a bib or smock OVER their harness so the gross stuff only gets on the clothing and not the seat. Also, because some manufacturers prohibit other cleaning agents (like baking soda, lysol wipes, Febeeze, etc), it’s wise to bring a toothbrush along to scrub those hard-to-reach crevices on the chest clip and buckle tongue.
Be sure to take a picture of how the shoulder straps are connected before you disconnect them. This will help you re-connect them properly and avoid twisting or misrouting the straps. It’s also a good idea to video yourself detaching and reattaching the cover so you’ll remember how to do it in the future.
