Leather or cloth seats for the family?

[boybi]

if your kids are prone to allergies or have asthma, mag leather ka. unless you wash the cloth seat covers everyday. ang tindi mag accumulate ng dust ang cloth seat cover.

Cloth seat cover is more appropriate. Like they said mainit ang leather
materials. Just make a regular schedule when to wash it.

Grey corduroy seatcovers for me... i just vacuum it around once every two weeks and wash around twice or thrice a year.

Leather isnt that practical in our weather, especially if you have a family driver who stays in the car while it's parked (i.e. waiting for the kids at the school).

imho, parehong may pros and cons. choose the one with more pros in your situation.

I'm planning to get a minivan and was curious what's a better seat material for the my young kids. Cloth seems ok since its washable although it may be stained. Leather can be wiped but it can break as well so I'm confused hehe.

In your situation, assuming cost is not the main factor, which one would you choose? Will seat material matter?

been in your situation bro cloth material is better if you have tsikitings lalo na kung restless sila (active kids like mine ) got three sets of cloth seat cover palitan

In the Philippines I would prefer cloth with Scotchgard treatment for stain protection. Leather would just be too hot even with A/C. If you park in a area with sunlight even with dark tint, get ready to get burned if you are wearing shorts. Here in the US I have leather and during the summer it get's real hot, I can't imagine what it would be like there.[/QUOTE

Summer here is different from the Philippines. Here ,it is "burning
" summer. People in the Philippines do not oftentimes park car with a leather seat under the sun for a long period of time. They always take care of it. To get to the topic though, I go for the leather seats if money is not an issue.I upgraded my SUV from cloth to leather. No issue at all.

I didn't realize there was a difference on how hot a leather seat got between the US and the Philippines. I always thought a burning hot leather seat was the same regardless of location. It all felt the same to me when my butt got burned here and in the Philippines.

i'd suggest leatherette.

with kids - you got the mud, spilled drinks, or a pet. Leatherettes are easier to maintain.

Won't crack easily just dont buy the cheapo one's.

Boy Chingcuanco has good quality.

the genuine leather seats are not as hot as the synthetic leather. but i suppose for your kids sake, take the cloth seatcovers na lang.

Hi guys! Salamat sobra sa suggestions! Btw, thanks for mentioning 3M Scotchgard cuz I almost totally forgot about it. Usually, do you spray it on the seat covers or the seat itself? Do you also apply this sa leather seats?

If say, fabric yung w/o seat cover and I spray it with Scotchgard, will it prevent liquids from seeping through (like spilled milk or candy stains)? Or better I put cloth seat covers then spray it with Scotchgard?

So for fabric seats, definitely kailangan ko ng seat covers if kids sasakay right? Or pwede na w/o seat cover then apply Scotchgard on it? I guess I can have the car vacuumed often para di maalikabok masyado.

Sorry once more and I know medyo mababaw questions ko cuz nalilito lang talga ako hehehe!!!

pag fabric choose a color na medyo neutral at di dumihin, kung white kotse mo ok na gray para di din gaano halata kung nabuhusan ng pagkain o ng gatas=)
