How can I keep the strap from my granddaugher carseat from crushing the headrest on my backseat

 

forward facing or rear facing?

usually car seats come with a strap so the car's belt is not needed

(the strap hooks into the metal loops connecting to the frame, unless your car is alot older)

 

Front facing. the straps are the problem ,they are cruching the headrest.

 

hate to be the bearer of bad new but wrong secton... can you remove the headrest?

 

No the headrest is part of the rear seat

 

ooo shety....umm maybe a board or hard cover book between the two..atleast then it would be uniform...

 

Have you tried putting a folded up towel between the two?? It will keep your leather from getting marks in it from being indented. Whenever I have my cousins baby in my car, I always fold a towel in half and put in down on the seat before putting her car seat down. (she is still in the infant car seat, so I don't have the headrest problem yet...but the same thing happens to the bottom of the middle seat when I really tighten down the strap for the latch system.) But the towel still allows me to tighten down on it really good, and still pushes down on the seat, but does not let the car seat leave marks from pressing down so hard. Try sticking a folded towel between the car seat and headrest.

 

I used a piece of gray carpet .And it still left a mark

 

A pillow?

 

I do the towel under the car-seat when my nephew rides with me.
