ideas for protecting car seats when potty training

hi, i wondered if anyone can help, my little girl is potty trained during the day, apart from if she falls asleep whilst in the car.

has any one got suggestions for keeping her car seat dry, and also the back seat of the car. i can remove her car seat cover to wash it, but dont want back seat of car to end up smelly.

    You could try putting a layer of plastic eg large carrier bag and a towel under the cover so that the plastic prevents the foam padding getting wet and the towel soaks up any excess.

    We used beach towels - though a placcy bag lining is a fab idea too
