Crewmax-kids,seat covers, car seats & sunshades

I am about 2 years late with this question but better late than never…
I have 2020 crewmax and 2 kids under 3, both in rear facing car seats and destroying my rear seats.
Can anyone recommend seat covers for the rear crewmax bench seat that will work with car seat latch/tethers?
Also, any favorites for side & rear window sunshades for the kids. I’ve used some generic stick on shades for the last 2 years but they really don’t fit the windows very well.

Here is one I use. I Don't use the latches but if you look under the questions on Amazon. Says you can access them

 

I'v had these for over a year and they have been great. Held up well to 3 kids and two dogs. Fit is really good, everyone who has got in my truck has never thought they were anything but factory leather until I told them.

That’s what I have also. Great fit and durability!

 

You probably want one that comes down the seat and across the floor and hangs the other end from the front headrest. There are versions of the Amazon one above that do that and have slots for anchors and seatbelts. They will catch child refuse that makes it off the back seat to the floor so a lot of the time all you end up needing to do is pull it out and shake it off and you barely end up having to vaccum the rear. I have all weather mats too but it is nice to have another layer between your kids and the carpet for liquid spills.

 

Mine came with nice rough country neoprene seat covers but I've used

$27 BDK AquaShield Rear Bench Car Seat Cover , Waterproof Neoprene Back Cover for Cars Trucks Van SUV , Ideal Protector Kids & Dogs , Automotive Accessories (Black)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G9KSTLD?ie=UTF8 in my old silverado and the wife's durango with good success. Definitely not the greatest fit as it's universal but for $26 it saved my seats.

 

I got one from weathertech. However, it covers center seatbelt latch. The sides work and seatbelts attach just fine.

 

I have one from Duluth Trading. It’s really nice and has openings for the latch system/seat belts. It’s convertible from just a seat cover to the hammock style

 

I've got the Carhartt canvas covers, they have held up great with 2 kids and 2 dogs trying to destroy them! Latches are all accessible.

 

I have the backseat sitting in the garage if you need a spare. It’s the factory leather ones.

 

I've been using the first product from Target for the last four years and it worked with his car seat. It has a nice thick durable layer and works great by protecting from spills running everywhere with the raised sides. It's easily cleanable. And, it prevents deep indentations into the leather seats.

I have a similar product for the front seat as in the picture to prevent him from constantly putting his shoes with dirt all over the back of the front seat or scuffing it up.

Flip them kids around and let them enoy the world around them. Are you more likely to get in a head on or rear ended?

Window tint.

 

I have found any sub 50 dollar pet seat cover from Amazon is more than enough. Most of them should be waterproof.

 

Once they can kick the seats, spin them around. Nonsense government guidance trying to keep 'em rearward for 2 years. Then get these seat back protectors. They outlasted out kids.

 

I also got the carhartt seat covers for just the rear bench with 3 front facing car seats across the back. It's a little pricy, but the fit is good and the material seems very durable.

 

Lot of good info here on the seat covers - but what about sun protection? I have used these on both the truck and wife's Rav4:

But they stretch, get sunfaded, and can get a little noisy in the rain flapping when wet.

Window tint seems like a good alternative, this is actually the only vehicle I have NOT tinted windows in.

Curious if there is a good solution out there for the back window though. I always think of hanging a curtain rod or similar type deal, but would be concerned about safety in an accident or anything like that if it fell. Also LOVE having the window down too so that has to be a factor!

My Tacoma had 5% all around, not legal in MA, but I had it done in SC when I lived there. Would like to do it on this one, but feel that the only real protection for the kiddos would be something past the legal limit.
