Kick pads/seat protectors

I have two small kids and the back of my Recaros take a beating from little feet. I have generic kick mats in my other 'family' vehicle but I was looking for something a little nicer for the Evo, if that exists. Amazon has plenty of universal ones but I was wondering if anyone had a solution or idea for protecting the back of my seats. Thanks!

I am interested on this as well.. Thinking of getting a plastic wrap that can stick on the recaro seat to protect it.

Contact paper maybe - flowery pattern? Might not look great but they will be done kicking in a few years and you can take it off. My kids scratched up the back of my IX seats. Eventually I just said.. meh if that' the worst of it, it's the price of having kids.

It would be easier to speak to the children. Ask me how I know.

I have something similar to that Recaro pad that I got at Babies R Us. It works well, same concept.

All kidding aside, I don't know what I'd do if my kid ruined my seats, he learned from an early age that being good to cars matters.

I made my wife sit as far up in the front passenger seat as she cold to eliminate the possibility. She is only 5'2" so it wasn't a big deal for her. In my other car we put in some Eddie Bower kick pads we picked up at target. I almost never have to cart the family around in the Evo, but when I do I swap in one of the kick pads and move the chair up.
