I've only just seen this, not sure if it's a new item, or just something I've never seen in the catalogue before.

Anyone got one? Is it neat? Any good?

LMB · Jun 29th, 2004, 11:26 PM

Got a pic Paul?

MINIALEX · Jun 30th, 2004, 10:48 AM

If its the rear seats id definitely like one

No pictures, it's for protecting the rear of the front seats, which can easily be scuffed moving babies and their "equipment" in and out of the rear of the car.

MINIALEX · Jun 30th, 2004, 11:53 PM

oh right - can you get one for the rears though?

A Sprogg gunge protector for the rear seats would be a great idea!

My 3 year old son James chucked up in the back of my Cooper on my first MINI2 run (Chilterns2) The car was only a month old as well

An early exit from the run and lots of cleaning when I got home was the result

I now have a pampers care mat under the seats for both my 1year old and 3 year old to soak up any "accidents" plus a rubber floor mat wedged under my 3 year olds seat which hangs over the front edge of the rear seat to protect against his muddy shoes. Not an elegant solution but at least it protects my seat trim.

I'd also be interested in the front seat back protector as James has a habit of kicking the back of the front seat.

I actually have one - cost me about $400 AUS, as I bought it for my staffordshire pup to travel with us on drive days.

If you want pictures ill try and take some.

Cheers

I'd love to see pics please ks_cooper.

Paul, any idea of price?

pob · Aug 16th, 2004, 11:35 AM

I've got one - the dealer threw it in with the BMW Isofix seat they gave me. Haven't used it yet as my daughter's legs aren't long enough to reach the back seat yet! I'll dig it out and let you know what it's like.

Paul · Aug 16th, 2004, 03:13 PM

Cheers pob.

pob · Aug 17th, 2004, 08:34 PM

It's surprisingly good quality - I was expecting a thin polythene type material but it's actually quite a thick woven waterproof fabric. It has elasticated strips to fix under the front seat headrest and another one to hold it around the bottom of the seat. There's also a pocket built into it. Picture attached - it's a bit creased though as it's been folded in its wrapper for months!

Paul · Aug 17th, 2004, 08:51 PM

Thanks Pob.

Faz · Aug 17th, 2004, 09:29 PM

How much do they cost?

I had a similar one in my previous Cooper (£7.50 for a set of two from Argos if I remember rightly) but it fastened to the bottom of the seat with two sticky pads which made a royal mess when I tried to remove them!

My daughters legs are a little further back in our new Cooper Conv but I'm sure it won't be long before i need a seat protector again!

pob · Aug 18th, 2004, 02:10 PM

I think they're £28 available from all good MINI dealers (and some bad ones I guess)...

marathon_1 · Sep 20th, 2004, 04:03 AM

Anybody know where I can get one in the States.

Andy_Aj · Nov 12th, 2004, 08:54 PM

Does anyone have a part number for these protectors?
I can envisage blank looks if i ask for them at my local MINI garage

Thanks

Spy Car · Nov 13th, 2004, 03:57 AM

Is there a part number?
