Has anyone found an alternative product that does not have the "melting into the leather seat" issue?

I don't have an alternative for you, however wanted to say that I have black leather seats in a black car and I live in a city where it reaches 110 degrees easy in the summer. I have had this seat cover for over a year and have removed it several times and never had any issues with it melting to the seats. Its worked wonders and I have one in every car for every car seat.

I would take the to a leather shop and ask them to be on the safe side. Those are pricey items to trust just anyone's suggestions. Sorry I am not able to help.

I did a really messed up leather chair. Let product sit over night. Worked great. Hope this helps.-

I haven't had this problem. The plastic that wraps around the seat post is similar or identical to those straps you see on good bike racks that sit on the trunks of cars. If you are concerned about wear on the seat post, you could easily put in a thin gasket or even a bit of cloth. But when I've tightened the strap snugly, I've had no problems. This is a very simple, effective, cool device.

Yes. We orginally got one for our Wrangler and our seats are half leather and half clothe and it works nicely on it, in fact so nicely we got a second one when we purchased a second car seat for my husband's Silverado pickup and he has all leather seats and it works perfectly fine for it. We've been using it for almost a year now and damages for us. And it doesn't cause the car seat to slip or slide, we're happy and feel safe using it for our almost 2 yr old and our leather seats. Hope this helps :-)

My seats are also very light, and my experience was that there was no change in the color. I really like the product, it is effective, yet light and non-toxic. I highly recommend it.

Right now we're using L.L.Bean Adirondack chair cushions, but we haven't really looked for an alternative. This was our quick fix, but isn't a terrible one in the short term since we already had them. They might be a touch too big, but not dramatically so.

There is only ONE leather cleaner in the world that's the best, and to save me I can't remember the name. It comes in a brown bottle and is called Lux---something. Anyway, I wouldn't hesitate to use this stuff on my living room couches, but I have a nearly-new Escalade that I'm going to find the best inthe world stuff to use on it, because of the weather and temperature changes in a car. I personally think 303 is excellent for leather, and ANYTHING ELSE,for that matter.

It is "faux leather" or pleather/fake leather. It's probably better than leather durability wise. My old ikea chair is kinda losing part of it's surface... I literally just assembled mine. Loving it. Will have a review video up on youtube soon and a review here on amazon. I'm definitely satisfied :) It may suffer from "sweaty back syndrome" under the right conditions. There are mesh versions of DX racer on their website for about $350. I'm sure amazon has them floating around as well.

We have leather seats as well it it does slide around some. I used a piece of material that you put under rugs so that they stay put. It works well to control the slip and slide.

My seat proctector doesn't do that. I have non-leather, black/gray interior in my SUV. I live where the weather is warm to hot as well. I would recommend this product. Previously (about 10 years ago) I used a all rubber-type seat protector which worked well also. Hope that helps.

I have a Chicco keyfit carseat, and I just push it back since it isn't removable. It's a little bulky, but it works. Besides, if I need to keep the sun out of my baby's eyes, then I just snap the solid rain cover over the mesh cover. Hope this helps!

leather the only way to go if you durability, nothing like having heated leather seats in the winter...

We did not feel comfortable on this seat either, but, rather then replace the seat we bought the 2x sunlite cloud-9, Gel bicycle seat cover, seems to be working well for us, just something you might consider rather then changing the seat. Hope this helps you Jason.

My car has leather seats and I have not had any problems with the summer infant duomat. It really does protect our leather seats. Hope this answers your question.

No, this doesn't have that. I really like this product. It keeps the car seat in place very well. I have leather seats and no matter how hot they get it doesn't leave anything on them and it stays in place. Very pleased!

It sure doesn't seem to damage the leather. I've been using three of these for two months and so far my seats are in great shape.
