I have 2 kids (7 and 5), so protecting the leather had to be done. I did think about going with child seat protectors, but then decided to do some DIY. It wasn't to save money or anything, just something to make it work for me.
I went to one of them craft stores (Jo Anns) and bought a 6x6 foot clear plastic table cover (maybe half mm thick). With a pair of scissors and roll of scotch tape, I made me nice covers that are not visible with a glance (when door is opened). The plastic sticks to leather and helps the car seats not to slide around like they usually would on leather. The car seats in turn stick to the plastic cover nicely. Price: $20.

The plastic can be easily taken out and folded in the cargo area (fits right into that pocket on right side) if adults need to ride back there.
