Car interior for kids

B&C03

Anyone have cloth interior in their car? If so, what color and are you satisfied with it? How does it stand up?  We would like to get a car with tan leather interior but it is a couple of thousand dollars more. I now have a black leather car  & black leather in the summer is HOT. For a few thousand less we are debating between a light color cloth or black color cloth. Any suggestions? Thoughts? BTW we are looking at a Honda CR-V and a Subaru Forrester.

Mine are still in carseats and don't eat/drink a TON in the car, but my dark gray cloth is awesome. It doesn't get hot even though it's dark, and really hides stains well.

I had a 2005 CRV with dk gray cloth....I loved it, no issues with messes/kids (had it til DD1 was over 1). 

I have tan leather now and it's still hot...I don't think leather color makes all that much difference.

One of our cars has tan cloth and I put plastic seat protectors on the back of the front seats so DD's shoes won't mark the back of the seat.

I have light grey and it looks awful if something gets on it. DH has black and I think that will be better, but I'm not sure. Regardless, I'd get a seat protector over the cloth to help.

We have dark gray cloth and it has held up really well.  I carpool kids all the time and everyone eats and drinks in my car.  It usually looks a mess but cleans up nicely.

I have tan cloth interior.  My car is a 2000, and while my child is young, so it hasn't been subjected to that yet, even after ten years it looks pretty good!
