Car seat choice and car seat cover choice

clee1982 · 11-21-2018, 08:54 PM

I have just ordered my 540i xDrive, just got the VIN # like 2 days ago

, so still got quite a bit of time to make decision on car seat

This is what I ordered
Exterior: Imperial Blue
Interior: Cognac Dakota Leather with Burl Walnut Wood Trim

I was choosing between Britax Boulevard and Nuna Rava though think I'm pretty set with Nuna Rava now just have to decide between the color

1. Caviar Black
2. Indigo
3. Slate

don't think Berry is going to work at all, so guessing either Indigo or Slate? what do you guys think (think black will just stand out)?

Also what seat cover do you guys use, my main concerns are
1. does it actually hold the car seat in place pretty well
2. is it going to melt in the summer then stick to the leather on the bottom side
3. is it going to leave a dent in the leather seat...

Only thing I would say about a seat cover is that it will probably prevent the seat airbag from working if you were involved in an accident.

sorry just to be clear, the car seat cover is only for the seat I'm putting child seat on, not going to cover anything else (also putting on all weather floor mat for that particular seat...)

Rava is like the britax click-tight in the sense that install is foolproof. It is the best fitting car seat I've come across. The nuna fabric is very high end for a baby seat.

Just bought Rava in Caviar Black, now guess need to look for a seat cover now, hopefully whatever it is won't stick to leather over the long run, saw couple amazon ones, not sure what to pick

anyone has experience with any of these

p.s. the last one definitely have very mixed review, some are great some says it dents the leather seats in no time...
