my friend is giving me her infant car seat but said the cover is dirty with stains and things so i was going to get a replacement cover. do you know anyone who sells them?
First off – its really generous of your friend to give you a seat, however, used seats can pose a risk to your child, before using it make sure it meets ALL these criteria:
1)it has never been in any wreck
2)it has all the original pieces, including manual
3)it has never been dropped, which means never been checked as luggage at the airport, either, since this frequently happens when checked or gate checked .
4)it is less than 6 years old – not 6 years from when purchased, but 6 years from the date of manufacture, stamped on the seat or a lable on the seat
5)the straps have never been completely submerged or washed with anything other than mild soap(it messes up the flame retardent treatment)
It it meets all of that – use it, and if you need a new cover, ONLY purchase one from the car seat manufacturer. You should never use an aftermarket product with a car seat. A seat cover that isn’t exactly the same as the original could fit differently and interfere with the harness, posing a threat to your child in an accident.
Now that you have your own set of wheels, customized with the latest sound system, hydraulics, and sheepskin seat covers, it is high time that you pick the best car insurance policy for it. However, choosing the perfect insurance policy for your car can be tricky, especially with the ever increasing number of auto insurance companies parading their great deals and good standing in the driving community.
When choosing an auto insurance policy for your car or truck, it is wise that you investigate first and check what each company has to bring on the table and see if it fits with the liability coverage you want, from windshields to accident damage repair, to car replacement.
Your liability coverage should depend on where you frequently park your truck or car and how you are going to use it. The less risky your driving conditions are, the less an insurance company is going to charge you. Also keep in mind that in environments where heavy traffic and vehicular accidents are the norm, it is best that you include collision as part of your liability coverage. It would be more costly, but at least you’ll get yourself covered.
If you are a student, aim for higher grades and a clean traffic record. Most of today’s auto insurance companies offer discount for “good student” drivers. That said, student drivers living in a high-risk traffic atmosphere are likely to get charged with high rates, even if they are driving older model vehicles.
Now that you have a grasp of what your liability coverage should include, the next thing to do is to get that truck of yours insured. Make sure that you shop for the right auto insurance policy maker. While there are many cheap options available, affordability in this industry does not necessarily entail quality.
Begin by making a list of the insurance companies in your area and start checking them one by one. The important things to note down are: 1) how long have they been doing business (thus giving you a picture of their financial strength), and 2) what others are saying about them.
Another thing to consider when getting a car insurance policy is the price of the car — engine, frame, car seat covers, and all. The more expensive the car is, the higher the insurance rate. Expensive cars also entail big costs on maintenance and repairs, such as costly fuel prices, an important element in the equation.
Of course, there are some instances that are not covered by auto insurance policies. Listed below are some of those instances:
• Mechanical, structural or electrical failure
• Downgrading, wear and tear, and rust
• Costs of repairing defective or worn out tires (although other damage from any resulting accident will be covered)
• Wages lost because you cannot use your car
• Customizations made on the car that deviate from the specifications of the manufacturers
Also, most policies do not include car loss or damage if you drove your car in unsafe conditions, such as lightning storms, when you knew or should have reasonably known that it was unsafe to drive.

Hello!
I have a newer Eddie Bauer booster seat. The fabric is already really worn, which is disappointing, to say the least. Anyhow, I know that they sell replacement covers for car seats, but once you factor in their cost and shipping, you could always find a new booster seat on sale somewhere.
My question is this though….does anyone have any ideas on how I could make my own? I could get some cute fabric at Walmart and put something together, but I wouldn’t know where to begin. Anyone want to help?!
Thank you!
If you get some fabric from walmarts then pick up some fabric glue or iron on seaming tape, this makes it SEW easy to make your own replacement items, I would use something in the line of denim or canvas, even a new painters drop cloth would work and get some fabric paint and let your child make hand and feet prints all over it, walmart even has iron ons like butterfly’s dragonfly’s and so on. the sky is the limit for making own custom cover.
The new ones have new plush covers and I bought one new seat but I have last years model(which is identical except for the padding and fabric) and wish to buy a matching cover for it as well, any ideas? The evenflo site wasnt loading right but they didnt sell just directed me to babies r us who doesnt carry the replacement covers anyways
Here is the link for evenflo replacement parts…not sure if you can get the covers through this link though as you need a model number and manufacture date
https://plweb.evenflo.com/replacement_parts.aspx
Also they say check Target.com for Evenflo car seats.
Good luck!
I have a high back graco turbo booster seat that was my sons now my daughter is using it and wants it to be pink. Can anyone tell me where to find a replacement seat cover. I have found them for the ones without the back. Graco’s website will only let me get same exact cover I already have. Any info would be great.
I would call the 800 number on the website and ask the rep if there are any interchangeable backs- compatible styles of boosters that you could switch out with the one you have. It might just be cheaper to buy a pink one, though.
Only buy a GRACO snugride cover for your seat – any other seat made by anyone else is NOT safe to use! So, call Graco customer service, or go online and order one. You will need the model number and date of manufacture off the label on the seat to order the correct cover. Its possible you could get one on eBay, but make sure it is an original Graco snugride cover for your model of seat, not an aftermarket cover made by an eBay seller.
Never use any aftermarket accessory with your car seat. If it wasn’t made by the car seat manufacturer specifically for your model number of seat (i.e. made by Graco for a Graco Snugride) then it isn’t safe to use.
This includes the use of car seat covers not made by the car seat manufacturer.
They don’t meet flame retardent requiremnts, and may not fit the seat exactly like
the original cover, interfering with how the harness works. The harness it what
secures the child to protect from injury, so that is a BIG deal! Also, factory covers
are only allowed to be a certain thickness, when you start getting aftermarket covers
or adding infant inserts, pillows, and such, you exceed that thickness, affecting how
the seat restrains your child. Harness covers another big one – if they didn’t come
with your seat, or you don’t have permission from the car seat manufacturer to use them,
DON’T! Most aftermarket harness covers are too long – pushing the chest clip down too
low to be effective. (Its supposed to be at armpit level, no lower).
This also includes the Mighty Tite – it has been shown to actually shred seatbelts!
A Seatbelt is supposed to be able to have some give and stretch in accident, to absorb forces
instead of the passenger. This isn’t possible when the seatbelt is stretched too tight.
Mats that cover the seat are a big no-no, too. It can give the illusion of a tight install when
in fact its not. Ideally you want nothing between the car seat and the vehicle seat. If
you feel you must put something to save your seats – use a thin shelf liner or a very thin
beach towel. That’s it!

Enhancing your auto with the hottest accessories will give it a personal feel and say a little about your character.

With customizing your truck, there is actually no limit to what you can decide to do. It mostly depends on your lifestyle, particular needs and budget, too. Besides, you accessorize your rig to give it the appearance and features you want.

We do seat covers for all F-150 seats, no matter what the year. Anything on our site is available.
These are covers meant to go on over the existing seats. If your looking for replacement upholstery, your best bet is to check your local listings for Automotive Upholstery. That is where they will replace the actual seat surface. Hope this helps.
