How to protect carseat from accidents?

I'm working with DS this weekend (his teachers said they think he is ready for PT'ing so I'm excited, I was hoping he was but waited until they saw the improvement at school).  So I think I'm prepared, but how do I protect the carseat just in case?  Piddle pads make him so hot (his hiney sweats with those) so should I use a towel?  An old receiving blanket?  I'm not sure what my best option is but I want something easily washable but that will save me from having to take apart the carseat and wash it.  What have you used or did you purchase something specific?

    Haha I just came here to post something similar. In my case, the Piddle Pad actually did NOT work so i'm super p!ssed (haha) as I had a false sense of protection. My carseat cover is still drying from the accident a couple days ago :(

    I was thinking of using one of my regular ole waterproof lap pads that I use on DS' changing table? I don't know what else to do!

    Haha, funny.  I had the piddle pad for when DS was younger and he would sweat so bad - of course I'm in Texas and he has a grey and black Britax Marathon carseat so that isn't exactly the coolest temperature wise.  I was thinking of using something I have but I don't know what - I was planning on folding up a receiving blanket - something easily washable and I have more if I need to.  But I'm not sure if there are other options - the piddle pad didn't look like it would fit where I need it to anyway, I think it's a great idea, but poorly designed ultimately.  I'm hoping for some good suggestions that I can use what I have at home because I'm not very close to a BRU or Target (although I looked at one yesterday and they didn't have anything similar at all).  Walmart is my only option unless I make a special trip.

    Someone responded to another similar post I made and she suggested puppy pads. I think I'll do that from now on because we have a whole pack leftover from when I was pg and thought my water would break while driving (lol).

    I do like how the piddle pads look in the seats but if they aren't going to work then screw that. (yes, I'm bitter lol). I don't trust a receiving blanket holding it all, tbh. Do you know of these lap pads I mention? They could really work, too, and Gerber makes them so they're cheap. I'd just go order online at Diapers.com or Amazon and buy things you need to satisfy thier minimum-for-free-shipping!

    I just stick a diaper under him, and up the front like he was wearing it on the outside of his clothes, only I don't secure it.  Then I buckle over the top.  I use my cloth pocket diapers most of the time.  He doens't seem to care.
