Question for people with front facing car seats in the back...

So I just switched my 2YO over to a front facing car seat in the back, but now she likes kicking the **** out of my seat, lol. Have you guys come up with a solution for preventing scuffs? Options seem limited since we don't have adjustable head rests.

TIA!

I had a no shoes policy in the car with my daughter
Then she can kick the crap out of the seat as usual without all the dirt and scratching

That's not a bad option. I'm also thinking about some sort of vinyl wrap that I could put on and then just peel off later. Not sure if it will stick to the textured surface that well though.

they make these and larger ones. Alternatively you could possibly use one of those larger ones that folks like myself use for our pets which cover both seats and cut out the slots for the baby seat anchors.

I have one of those in each car, and they work great for rear facing seats. I'm looking for something to protect the back of the driver's seat from being scuffed by a front facing, kicking toddler, lol. I found a bunch of products on Amazon, but all of them seem to attach under an adjustable head rest, facing the rear seats.

If they don't scratch easily, then I am good with that. I've had cars where a light drag of a fingernail would make a permanent mark. I just switched to front facing 2 days ago, so haven't had a chance to see how well the seat backs hold up.

I got a cheapo clear plastic drape/wrap for the back of the chair.

It secures with elastics and does a fair enough job preventing scuffs and nicks, but it's a shiny clear plastic.

Cheap and it works.
