Neoprene Seat Covers

I need something to cover the rear seat in my 06TL. We have a 5 month old baby, and we want to protect the rear seat leather. I have been looking at the Neoprene seat covers by CoverKing and a couple of others. What do you guys think of these?

I have something to put under the car seat.I want something for the whole seat, so it`s protected when he starts dropping and spilling stuff.

If you do get a seat cover, just remember to keep up your regular care and maintenance of the leather. If I were to get a seat cover, it would probably be one of the custom made ones by coverking

You must not be paying attention. It goes under a baby seat.

The bottom of it is fairly rigid so it doesn't allow the car seat to put dents in the leather.

I use a layer of foam, then cardboard for bottom and seatback, then the LionHeart as mentioned. Overkill, I know, but I take it out once a month to clean out the cheerios and make sure no leaks. Last week when I took it out I had some liquid that was collected in the lionHeart tray and had no marks in the leather. It works great for me!

Thanks Guys, I think the wetokoles sound good. Do you think they are worth $200 for the rear seat only?

I picked up a "Seat Saver" at Babies-R-Us. Looks just like the one posted by leedog. I've been using it for two years and it works great. The Wet Okoles look OK but seem ovverpriced. Also, it covers the entire seat. I don't know how comfortable that will be for anyone else who may have to sit back there. Also, how much efort is required to remove and reinstall to clean both the cover and the leather? Looking at the pictures I can't tell whether you can get a pass-through to the trunk. My seat saver is very simple and catches nearly everything my girl drops back there. I think it cost about $45.
