Clip round the ear and a stern talking to .......

 

If you don't want a full seat cover I would just put a normal seat protector (goes under child seat) over/ in the map pocket.

That's one way to do it, lose the kids courtesy of social services and HM long stay hotels!

Buy them slippers

If mine kicks the seat I take his shoes off and make a big deal that he lost his "shoe privileges." His grandparents and his mum do the same so he knows it's a naughty thing to do - I wouldn't allow him to rub his shoes over the sofa and my car cost more than that

That said, I saw someone create a makeshift tablet holder by tying something over the shoulders of the seat (might have been a tie). If you want function over form you might be able to use something similar to hold a seat cover in place.

Just a silly thought but as a DIY solution you could get a cooks apron in a suitable colour. Use the neck strap over the headrest and tie the waist strap around the seat with the knot to one side so as not to  be uncomfortable.

Thanks for the ideas guys, admittedly some more useful than others

I’m interested to see how you solve this one. At the min I’ve used a universal one with the Velcro round the top of the seat but it’s not ideal.

[Sliceman]

Hmmm. Not sure yet. Also need to try and solve portable dvd player holders. These one piece seats look good but are kind of annoying from a practical point !

[greg_s]

They certainly are, I nearly ordered headrest mounts for them but glad I waited until I had the car, would have been quite a bad oversight to make

Isn't back of all vRS seats from fake leather? On mine full leather seats, fake leather back is so easy to clean with wet magic cloth. 

 

I understand the issue, mine are clean until children enter the car, then it's done. Luckily very easy to clean.

I hope my car doesn't come with leather seats! I hate leather seats, they're freezing cold in the winter and burn your 4r$€ off in the summer!

Back in the day I used to tell kids "Kick me again and I'll stop the car. You can get out and walk home" and could make them believe me.

I’ve got these kick mats for around £10 fitted in our car which are similar to the ones in the above link if you don’t need the back seat protector.

Statto and Munfred, do they actually fit on Vrs front seats ok then? They would do tbh. I cannot even recall what material the back of front seats is on new Vrs? Still waiting for it to be delivered. If it was fake leather, that would be easier to clean admittedly !!

Hi Sliceman, I’m not 100% sure tbh because of the vrs’ one piece design. I forgot to mention that “our car” in my first post isn’t a vrs but is a Golf with the more common back rest plus headrest design. As to whether they’ll fit the vrs, much will depend on how far the adjustable strap will stretch round the vrs’ seat, but even if it did, I’d be concerned about the impressions they’d leave on the seat’s fabric themselves.

 

You might be better off relying on a combination of exploiting the seat’s wipe clean nature and a bit of education for the kids!

But the ejector seat button is in the front seats so they get blasted out of the car at a million miles per hour should they press their feet against them? 

 

It's fake leather on the back of the alcantara seats so mud etc isn't really a problem. The above still applies however... 

[Sliceman]

Lol. Is it fake leather on non alcantara seats too....?

I believe ether is usually quite good at keeping them quiet...
