I love the versatility of this rear seat cover, depending on what's going on and what we're doing, either the infant carrier or the dog seat needs to be temporarily removed. At least with zippers, you don't have to fold or remove the seat cover to fit extra people in the back, use the center console, or increase the cargo area! Makes a stable impression and sits nicely on the underside of the seat. Back seat, I don't see it working. With the arrival of fall and winter, we're ready for any load in the back seat, and now the interior of our new Subaru Outback is being protected. Exactly what I was looking for and hoping for!
