Seat protector to protect against car seat? suggestions?

I'm wondering what people are using to protect their leather seats from the indentations, etc caused by car seats? I've heard some complaints about seat protectors that leave marks on the leather in the hot summer heat (most complaints have been from people with light colored leather). Would appreciate any suggestions.

Yeah we have gone for thick beach towels folded neatly. Think it actually looks neater and definitely absorbs better than the plastic solutions where liquids will just run off somewhere else. We have one plastic one meant to protect the seat, but beach towel is the solution for us going forward.

I used beach towel on two car seats. Just get a matching color. The headrest was the most noticeable area until I added the towels.
