Question 1

Has anyone found an alternative product that does not have the "melting into the leather seat" issue?

Accepted Answer

Fake news, this one doesn’t melt. Have two, one in car w/black leather, one w/grey leather - no issues with either in heat/cold. Seat is strapped in tightly via Britax ClickTight system, no indents or stretch marks in leather thanks to this seat protector.

Question 2

What distinguishes the "Elite" DuoMat from the regular DuoMat?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. The Summer Infant Elite DuoMat is 6.5" taller and uses a premium memory foam for superior protection.

Question 3

could this also be used for a toddler car seat?

Accepted Answer

It can, but you may have a challenge getting the back of the pad to stay up on the back seat because it's the tall back of the regular car seat that holds the pad in place. Now, because I have a head rest on my back seat I was able to rig the seat cover in a way where I hooked it to the head rest and that held it in place. I graduated from car seats about 12 years ago and I just needed something to protect my leather seats from my older "children" age 17 and 20 (:) when they are sitting in the back eating and drinking God knows what! LOL! It protects my seats from all their crumbs. But, now that I think about it, if you use a booster seat, it's possible that when your child leans against the seat, their back could very well hold it in place. It's not a flimsy mat (good quality) and very well still could stay in place without it flipping forward (also depends on the texture of your seats). I say all that, to say this, probably the best thing to do is order it and try it and if it doesn't work for you, you can always send it back. I'm very pleased with mine!  I hope this helps and doesn't sound too confusing.

Question 4

Does this stay up well all the way with a rear facing seat? Or will it buckle without having the car seat secure against the entire cover?

Accepted Answer

You need to fold the mat at its crease on the back section. With my rear facing seat this gave plenty of protection for my seat. When rear facing not as much of the car seat is rubbing against your car. The mat stayed in place very well, protecting underneath and at the foot area of your rear facing seat.
