   I purchased these when we transferred baby from the infant car seat to her convertible car seat. In the new car seat, her feet now extended out beyond the car seat to touch the seat she was facing (we still have her rear facing, as recommended). While these mats were made to fit over the back of a front row seat, I didn’t see why they couldn’t be turned around to cover the front while baby was still rear facing. I currently have them covering the front of my back seat to protect from shoe marks while Little One is rear-facing.

   The mats themselves are made out of a material akin to reusable shopping bags (and if I had the time, I might have repurposed a couple of my old ones for just this purpose), so they aren’t the thickest things in the world, but for what I use them for, its plenty. I’d like them a little wider, but they aren’t much narrower than any others I found out there, so that’s just a general complaint, not one specific to this product. I did have to shorten the top strap a little bit more than the velcro allowed (as I needed the mat to sit higher on the seat), but a safety pin did the trick just fine. I had a difficult time pulling the elastic band over the seat (ended up not using it), but the strap was designed for a front bucket seat, not a 2nd row captain’s chair, so I suspect its a result of my slightly unconventional use of the product. Overall, I think these were an excellent value and have performed excellently in our car (a Highlander).

   We own both the Safety First and Brica kick mats and as far as I can tell they are the same product. The kick mat measures 17 x 22 inches and, as another reviewer noted, this may not be enough acreage to completely protect your seats. It really depends on the car model. We have a Mazda 5, for example, and the mat does not cover the entire back of the front seat. We have a larger Toyota SUV, however, and it covers those seats just fine. I don’t worry about it too much because it covers the main strike zone. Also, depending on your particular seat, the elastic strap may stick out as it stretches across the front of the seat. This has never bothered us and we don’t feel it when we sit down. As for quality, they are okay; we had one elastic strap immediately pull out of the stitching. It was easily repaired with a sewing machine. In summary, these were some of the lowest cost kick mats available and they do a reasonable job.

   Cheers

   Due to a lack of options I ordered these kick mats, hoping they’d work and fit. After going through many reviews,it didn’t seem like there was one really good one. These weren’t reviewed yet and seemed identical to the ones by Fisher Price, but a few bucks cheaper, so I decided to give them a try: The fit on the front seats of our Mazda 5 is tight but ok, however they do NOT cover the entire back of the seat. There’s a strip on each side of the seat back that is left uncovered. If you have a bigger car with larger seats, it’s probably going to be cover even less of that seat. They way they have to go onto the seat makes them go down very low, so the bottom seat part is well covered, leaving another strip at the top (in addition to the side strips) uncovered as well. In order to truly protect the seats, one would probably have to buy slip covers for those seats …
