Using one in my car for two years; slips off seat when I get out. Even very strong velcro fails. Any ideas for attaching the cushion to the car seat

Perhaps if you sew some binding tape to two corners and then tie it around your seat in the car it might hold it. Obviously you have fabric seats and if Velcro doesn't work. I was happy to see you had used this for two years without problems. It helps my husband immensely in the wheelchair. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Sorry, but no ideas if Velcro doesn't work. They can be a real problem with slipping off seat.. Funny story happened to me several years ago. Had an old cushion in car. The thread was unraveling from cushion. Pouring down rain, I got out of car not noticing That this long thread 4or5 foot long had caught on back pocket button, so was dragging pillow behind. In store, clerk pointed this out, I turned around and said that I told you to stay. In car. Everyone had a good laugh on me!!!

Short of "nicking" edges of velcro with needle & thread to actual car upholstery - no.apologies.

Try putting some SHURTECH 736411 / Brownstone Shelf Liner 12"x10' (On Amazon) or a similar shelf liner under your cushion. They make a very thin liner also, but go with the thicker, waffle textured one. Other companies sell anti-slip pads to go under throw rugs and prevent them from slipping around. I use a wedge-shaped cushion to raise my head when I sleep. This stops it from moving around. Good luck!

Hi, I don't use this as a car- seat so I don't have that problem.The only thing that I can think of is to some attach a wide piece of elastic or just fabric tot he under side of this and tie/pin/stitch it around the underside of the car seat.

If yours has a zipper just like the one I have, you could easily buy dark black twine and wrap it around the inside pillow part, leaving a long enough piece at the zipper opening. Long enough to then wrap it around the part where the back meets the seat. No one will even see it. If you don't have a zipper, then you might try glueing the twine around the pillow. Sorry but that's all I can suggest.

Use the belt-like carrying strap to secure the cushion to the chair back. For the slippery sitting surface, try wrapping the cushion with a turkish towel. Tuck/wrap it around the cushion. Hope this helps.

You should probably look for something else. Pockets are not that big and the top part of the mat will tend to flop over since nothing is holding it up. This is really for infant seats to hold it up in place. The only thing that holds it in place is a piece of plastic that gets wedged into the space between the backrest and the seat.

I used carabiner clips to attach the straps to the child safety anchors on each side above the seat backs. It worked perfectly in a car with no headrests :-)

The ones that go around the headrests work really well! There is a larger strap that I haven't tried, but it comes with instructions.

I had that same issue and struggled to try to attach it and never did get it on the way it should be; but I did get some nasty looking scraps on my hands from the metal under the seat. I left it as I positioned it and the cover has stayed on okay. I hope this helps.

We have two of these car seats, and I've noticed that on one of them, the cover always comes off at the top. It doesn't seem to affect the functionality of the seat, so we've just dealt with it - but it is very annoying.

Karen. We had the same problem. The manufacturer didn't think that far. We bought some short stretch straps that have S hooks on both ends, hooked one end to a bar under the seat and the other to the barrier. That has worked fine for us.

I haven't found one for the backseat either. I bought a generic one but had to take it back because it is oddly shaped and backseat is also divided. I use a blanket now for the dog because nothing fits back there. Sorry. Can't help.

I actually made a mistake last time I answered a question here. Someone had switched the cover between cars and I did not see the 2 slots for the seatbelts. It would be a simple fix to use the headrest straps to your advantage and use another twine or cord to extend down behind the seat-backs and attach down below to some steel mount or spring frame. A shoulder strap may work to hold the cover at the corners. A low waist belt may not work but it could hold the base in place. For the price, this has saved a lot of wear in my vehicles.

I do not have this problem, but it may be helpful to consult customer service. The button in the front of the car seat helps to adjust the straps, if you haven't tried that already. Good luck!

There are ways to secure it. There's Velcro on the bottom and a strap across the back. You could slip a seat belt through the strap or put a seat cover on that the Velcro would stick to. I guess you could hang it from the headrest, but it doesn't seem like that would be sturdy. Overall I've enjoyed this product. Will probably last me 1 year or so.

That was a small problem with ours as well. I'm pretty handy so I ended up holding the cushion tightly in place and drilling a small pilot hole into the seat frame bottoms. I (think) I was able to use the provided screws but might've actually used a different size that fit more perfectly. When drilling and screwing just be very careful not to drill too far and penetrate the faux black leather!I also used a little wood glue on the screws to ensure they would stay tight over time.Seems like a minor design flaw that it was difficult to fit the cushions properly, but for the price I felt it wasn't a big deal.

Yes had that happen several times in car seat while I was driving so did not put on next time. Also when in stroller and bike seat, I used a sunglasses cord and tied a knot which rested on neck or higher. Infant still managed to get off so working on it. Figure it like all new things is a phase and will pass.

How did you secure the car seat to the airplane seat? That was another big problem of mine. You said, "one of e harness solutions." I only know of one that's FAA approved for takeoff and landing. What ones do you know of?

Mine is securely stuck to my dashboard. If it was removed, possibly double stick tape might reattach. The pad is cheap enough that a new replacement may be best.

I have never experienced this issue and I have two of these seats! Hopefully someone else has some suggestions for you.
