To the 0.1% stuffing kids in the back

[qitorr]

I just picked up my WRB Series.Blue two days ago but I had ordered a few things ahead of time. One of them was a pair of kick mats for the back of the front seats.

A while back I asked if anyone knew other good fitting options than the cheap-looking clear plastic covers I had seen up to that point. One helpful suggestion was "plastic baby covers." but i'm not sure if mom would go for that.



Anyway, for anyone in a similar spot I thought I would share the ones I did pick up from Amazon. They are almost invisible from the front of the seat and cover the full back of the seat.

Excellent!!! I have been looking for somthing like this. Now i wont have to enforce the "no shoes in daddy's car" rule to my 3 year old. First thing he does is plant his feet on the back of the passenger seat. Thank You!!!

What a fun ride for a squid. I would put my kids in seats back there if they were still that little

Not sure about all that "having kids" stuff, but do love the blue leather!

Hi there,
I am in Durham as well. I am going to be out of town for two weeks but after that I'll try to make it to some of the summer meet ups. I will also be going to the 2nd day of the 86 meet in Virginia (won't be done with my break-in so I won't be autocrossing) maybe we will run into each other sometime. You have a WRB as well don't you?

Wait... Humans can fit in the back seat? I thought that was just a myth.

I have a 5 year old that I drop off at school. I haven't bothered with kick mats--I tell him not to kick, and what he does get on the back of the front seat wipes off easily.

I don't let him eat in my car, but I did get one of these to go under his car seat, mostly to help prevent depression damage.

It really is tiny back there, but he's a little guy, and I put the front passenger seat up quite a bit. I think I've only driven with 3 in the car once, and it was just in my neighborhood.

This is the Seat saver I picked up. So far so good. Granted it has only been two days

Btw, beautiful family!

Everyone looks so happy, even the wife after buying an impractical sports coupe!

I'm starting to think we need a BRZ Mom/Dad pic thread with families in/around the car!

That I do sir. Would be great to meet up...I have not made it to any local gatherings...my schedule just hasn't aligned.

I was hoping to make the 86 fest, but will be away on vacation...it should be a blast.

Not meaning to venture off topic, but @qitorr thought I would offer some advice that I wish I had taken when just purchased my BRZ:

I strongly recommend a clear bra. Now if you're like me, I hate the look of those when you are up close. However, it's been well documented on this forum that the paint on these cars is very soft. I can say that the front of my car looks like I have sprayed it with gravel. It makes me cringe when I look at it up close.

Let me also qualify that by saying I wash my car weekly and wax it monthly on a regular basis; I also put relatively low miles (only 16K over past 17 months). Most of that is just commuting (a lot on I-40 unfortunately).

In hindsight I wish I had done it...I am now strongly considering having the whole front bumper and hood re-painted and then a clear bra installed. But we will see...I have no idea on the price for that.

Not trying to be a downer, just wanted to pass that along. Hoping I can see your series blue sometime. I live in South Durham (Hope Valley area), are you close by?

I've always wondered why they made the back side of the seat leather/vinyl instead of cloth. But then i thought about this (kids sitting in the back), but mainly when i started loading the car with tires/camping-gear/mountain-bike, I knew that it was so that the back side doesn't stain. More cars should be made this way imo.
