Guard for the back of the front seat

Kind of an odd question but does anyone know of any protector that I can mount behind the front seats? I have young kids that play sports. When they kick their cleats up against the back of seats, it leaves marks that you can not wipe off.

I've wondered too.....have not seen anything specific for this use.....but I'd get one if there was......
you could probably rig something up that wasn't to obtrusive
for now I just lean the seat way up......but not as effective when my wife is riding shotgun.....

I suppose duct taping their legs together so they will have a harder time kicking the seats is too harsh.

my friend bought something like this before but i didn't bother to ask him where he got them from. they are just like aprons hang from the bottom of the headrests to the bottom of the seats. to be very honest, i think they are quite fugly.

I sometimes take my kids shoes off so that they can't do as much damage with socks.

Thanks. That link listed a couple options. Since I have black seats, those could work.

I use a very similar one from amazon and it works well. I have a lighter color but I think black looks better than having a cheaper looking clear plastic.

On mine I put the top strap around the headrest in the obvious and the bottom strings i tucked into the bottom of the seat pocket to keep it stable.

I know, but look at the bright side, it protects absolutely everything, not just the back of the front seats

Good point and thanks. My oldest son will be 16 soon. My best friend was asking him if he is going to drive the Benz as to which I laughed. He asked, don't I want to put him in the safest car? I said if he scratched it I would kill him so he's really probably safer in a different car anyway. lol

I do have a W211 I thought about letting him have, but it is emaculate and would like to keep it that way.

to be very honest, i personally think letting a teenager drives a mercedes to school might not be a good idea unless the students of the entire school, including the faculties, are driving similar or better cars. so a kia could be odd. otherwise, the civic is more than enough. if you worry about his driving behavior, you can install one of those things, which i forgot what it was, in the car and you can keep track of everything.
