car seat covers help!

celebrate

hi can anyone recommend a site that sells good quality but cheap car seat covers suitable for a vw touran for all 7 seats?

we have just bought a new VW touran and my OH has been to halfords for car seat covers but

a. they only include covers for 5 seats

b. they go all the way across the middle seats making it awkward when need to flex these seats forward to get the kids into the back two seats

i know nothing about cars and my husband was happy to go out and pay full price for covers which i think do not do the job (we regularly need to be able to put seats down to get full 5 kids in back)

thanks in advance

Halfords will supply tailored seat covers for your vehicle but they are not cheap, iro £150 i think.

ok but why don't standard ones take into account bending forward seats ??

Because 'standard' rear car seats are not 'bending forward seats'... possibly.

but there are sooooo many MPV's out there these days it is not an unusal vehicle, anyone know if there are standard seat covers for that sort of vehicle (slightly cheaper than £150!)

"Standard" seat covers are becoming a thing of the past because every car is now coming with different weird shaped seats, side airbags etc. Yes there are lots of MPV's out there but every one is different.

atrixblue.-MFR-.

plus if A car is fitted with active headrestraints (KIA CEE'D) you wont get the head rests out to fit them.

also even though the are side aribag OK every manufacturers airbag will differ in size so no garentee that in the event of an accident the air bag will fully deploy due to the covers.

seat coveres are IMO a false econamy, anything wet does go through to stain a seat cola, milk etc they smell even when washed when they get dirty. they wear quite allot so not really durable as their stretched on the seat the stretched again when sat on.

the waterpriof ones are better indevidual and washable (but dont smoke around then drop a lit end and the burn) ive had a set of these for around 5 years, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LASER-SEAT-COVER-3007-/390090440973?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5ad333c10d.
