Just wanted to share my solution for seat protection in our new Odyssey. I wanted to protect our leather from our car seats, but couldn't find well-reviewed seat covers, and also didn't want to hide the look of the seats. I ended up buying foam exercise mat tiles for about $10, cutting them to size, and then using heavy-duty Velcro to attach them to the bottoms and rears if our car seats. Now our seats are protected, you can still see the leather seats we paid for, the pads are attached to the car seats so removing them is as simple as taking out a car seat, and if we want to use our car seats in another car, the pads quickly pull off leaving just the soft side of the Velcro on the underside of the car seats, which won't damage anyone else's seats.

Brilliant, stsa84! I would think the exercise mats are designed for medium-impact by adult humans and are also durable. The bottom of the car seats has a lot of surface area relative to the weight of the little kids. If you haven't seen any imprinting after a month, I doubt you will. I drive the EX but my friend has an Accord Touring with leather seats. He uses a booster seat for his grandson. I'll forward your idea. Thanks for sharing!
Little more info... I set the car seats on the pads, and used a wooden skewer with a sharp tip to lightly trace the outline of the seat, then used a box cutter to cut the foam.
I got these ones from Amazon:
Though when I bought them, they were stocked and shipped directly from Amazon. 1/2" was the perfect thickness, and the included six 2x2' squares were plenty to do 3 car seats.
