The cheapest thing probably lay down a towel underneath? Or seat cover?
My concern is that not stopping to creasing / imprinting.
Perhaps you could cut a small piece of plywood or plexiglass and then cover it in fabric?
You'll need something firm for that but keep in mind it may slip around so be sure it's secure
Speaking as a firefighter who installs these everyday for people... Keep in mind that child safety seats are designed to be installed on the seats and not on a towel or plywood/plexiglass. Check the manufacturer recommendations of the seat and the truck. I wouldn’t risk the safety of my child just because you don’t want creases in your leather. But that’s just my opinion.
That’s what I was thinking when I made my suggest. Good that you confirmed it.
Some car seat manufacturers make a pad that will go under their seats that the seats are tested and rated for. But any other aftermarket things I would steer clear of. I had a Silverado with leather seats when my kid was born and in car seats with no protection between them. When I traded it in for my Taco there was no sign of creases.
Haha I had already thought about that (as I too am a firefighter whose house installs far too many daily lol) and have reached out to my wifes cousin who works for the seat manufacture we bought from.
