The customized cover is a great idea but I am not sure if I can get that accomplished easily. Someone from China should make these things for luxury cars. Should be cheap to make and great sales.

More than the back of the front seats is the actual seat itself. Not having full-sized legs, they rest their feet on the front edge of the back seat or at least step on in getting in and out of their car seat. Plus the car seats and booster seats abraide the leather seats especially with the grit which gets under them from the aforementioned shoes on the seat issue. Then there are the crumbs.......I try to convince my wife that the children will survive 30 minutes in the car without food.......but she is not convinced......and I want to remain married....therefore there are inevitably crumbs and juice box spills.

My solution was to go to an upholstery shop that does custom interiors. I had them make a cover for the lower partion of the back seat out of a vinyl material that is exactly the same colour as the leather. It even has a leather like texture. It is fitted around the bottom and has openings that the seat belts recepticles come through. It fits well because (a) they do custom upholstry for a living and (b) they took the bottom of the back seat out of the car and put it on their bench to make sure they designed and constructed the cover to fit the seat properly. With the car seats on it you don't even notice its there and keep in mind this is just the bottom of the seat so when you look in the car you are primarily looking at the vertical portion of the rear seat, which has no cover.

Pull out the car seats and whip of the cover and the seat is pristine. The car seats and cover go in the trunk, you can pick up a client or whatever anytime. I takes about 1 minute or less to fit it back on and your back to crumb mode.

its almost time for me again, to become a father again, and well the bac of my E60 is in for a load spilt milk, crisps, sweets, drinks again,

i clean my inside atleast once a week, and even then the car is dirted out super hard.

And now im fitting in my new baby chair also, so the back of my car now is for two kids now always.

I have the bmw baby chair, which sits in very perfectly, however i am concerned about the plastic bottom, ripping up my leather seat, is there a way that can be sorted without actually putting down a towel or something, if that is the only thing that can be done, then i will, but is there another way???

Anyone help on this one?

Ok, I know this is not the coolest topic but it's very practical. I just took redelivery of my 08' 535xi. I have a 18month kid that I have to accommodate. What do you guys use? Is there any BMW specialized car seat? How about the protection for the back of the front seat? My son will mostly likely start kicking it soon. Any idea? Thanks.
