I took mine off and the seat of full of tan pieces flaking off the back. It's like the bottom layer disintegrated. Is this the waterproof layer?

good question. Same thing happened to mine, but not throughout the whole product.

Not really saying yes or no. Mine has not done that. I've had them on more than off since June. I wonder if something in the fabric of your seat is reacting with the seat cover water-proofing.

We bought ours last fall(2012). It has been outside the whole time. After about three months the coverings on the seats have worn away. The seats still work fine they are just really ugly to look at. We will probably buy some better material and cover them ourselves. BTW it was a good buy the kids love it.

Mine was fine when I received it and didn't have a problem with it after I washed the cover. I'd try to readjust the foam and straighten out the hood. If that doesn't help maybe you should return it.

It is definitely not waterproof. Although mine wore out before I had a chance to clean it, it would be difficult to clean. Probably the best you could do would be to brush it with a stiff bristle brush. It stains easily.

We inspected our floor model and is doesn't look like the fabric is removable...It is stitched on. Please let me know if I can help you with any other car seat questions.Thanks,Mary734.369.6038

The seat cover is made of a soft plastic with a vinyl-like backing. It is very thin and would not protect against wetness on the seat. It is pretty much an easy way to cover the entire seat (sides included) rather than using the standard toilet seat covers or toilet paper that do not stay in place.

I would say SOL. You may have broken the gasket on the rear door which may have caused a leak. I had an earlier version which went in about the same way you described with screen failure. I did not take mine underwater however. I would look into sturdier models which may have extended warranty periods. You should seek out other opinions. I did purchase this model again but will not subject it to water.

I have had no problems with the under siding of the seat cover. We use it every day, and it does stay in the car most of the time, but when I have removed it to use the seat for people, it has shown no wear

it is a vinyl material, waterproof but not sure how it would hold up in a downpore. I live in the desert so not an issue. from hosing out the Jeep it did ok. The seems are not very durable. driver seat showed a lot of wear when I sold after just 18+ months of use.

Nope...mine stayed in perfect condition! I wonder if it is caused my water damage? It's basically just memory foam...and I know sometimes memory foam acts weird if exposed to excessive amounts of water.

I have had the same problem. It doesn't seem as though it's waterproof. Once the guts get wet -- history !!! I think I solved the problem by smearing some silicon on the internal parts. It doesn't hurt anything, and it seems to have worked for me. Good Luck, Dj !!!

It is waterproof. The top is saggy, so water will pool at the eaves. My top collapsed the frame from the weight of this water, but the top was undamaged. I wish the top had failed first. If I was doing this again, I would put some grommets along the eaves to drain the water, which of course would lessen the area kept dry underneath.

Sent it back to Amazon...seemed way too flimsy. Sorry...I don't know about the waterproof question.

It would be possible to remove. Over time, the seat digs into the foam, so you may have to lift the back of the seat some to get it out. Also, the seat may no longer be tight. You will probably have to unbuckle and reinstall to put it back under all of the way.

I haven't left it out side for extended amounts of time. Its made of nylon fabric, I am not sure it's waterproof.

I have no problems. We've had it a few months now. I just treat them like carseat straps. Mild soap and warm water. Wipes clean! :)

Black waterproof material. Not sure what that material would be called? Not quite rubbery. Not thin mesh? Not quite vinyl? But a sturdy rubberyish under bottom? Hope that makes sense since I had to make up a work for you?
