Default Seat mat and seat back kick protectors?

Any recommendations on which seat mats and seat back kick protectors best fit the Q7 seats with a clean look (my interior is black leather)? I need to protect my newest baby arriving in 1-2 weeks from my kids in forward and rear facing car seats...

An example of what I'm referring to:

I use 4 of these for 2 car seats in both of our Audis. Love them. 3 years later, and they have protected the leather well. Mesh storage pockets come in handy too.

I have no experience with other brands like the one you posted, but I suspect they are all equally effective.

I don't have the kick seat back protectors though, since both my kids are still rear-facing (1yo and 3yo) and will remain that way for as long as I can keep them rear facing. That first link you posted will be useful though when my oldest goes front facing by the time he is 4-5yo. Will be ordering a couple of those then.

I have the Brica seat back protectors from the first link in your post and the work pretty well on the Q7. They're slightly too narrow at the bottom, but otherwise fit well. They look good too (for a seat back protector).

I've been using a Britax seat protector under one car seat and a black towel under the other. Check with you car seat instructions to see what you can use under it. Some only allow a towel, some only a specific mat. I didn't want to take a chance of a thicker seat protector interfering with the fit of the car seat. You can judge for yourself what you think is safe.

I never knew there was a kick protector. So far my only defense against that was yell and scream. Guess I should get one too for my 6 year old twin girls assuming there is still 2-3 years of kicking left

Diono Ultra Mat Full-Size Seat Protector + Diono Stow N Go Car Organizer.

Full size mat/seat protector is key. The organizer is actually back of seat protection. Both are excellent, both look nice in Audi's high end interior (in other words, they don't stand out), and both are available at Amazon. Reasonably priced and highly recommended.

Check out weathertech. They have a full rear seat protector.

We probably have half a dozen of these in our various cars:

Researched many seat protectors and beware that some other products may use materials that can melt in high heat and stick to or damage interior leather...

3+ years of use so far and leather stays like new.

We used the Brica Seat Guardian for our black leather. Just an FYI... The photo on Amazon shows the grey color much lighter than it actually is. The seat protector is a very dark charcoal... near black. It does not stand out as the photos show.
