As many of our customers like to say, the Hatchbag boot liner offers the ultimate protection for your boot. Durable, long lasting and easy to maintain, this boot liner protects your car for as long as you have it. Did you know that Hatchbag offers accessories and extras that can maximise coverage of your car’s interior? One of the main questions we get asked about our boot liners is regarding add ons for the second row seats. Car seat covers are in high demand as they cover even more of your car’s interior, offering maximum protection. In this blog, we will explore the Hatchbag seat covers, known as the rear seat flap, which extends from your boot liner, into the second row seats. This can be added on to your boot liner purchase and is a great addition for many.
What is a rear seat flap and how does it act as a car seat cover?
The rear seat flap is a rectangular piece of fibre reinforced PVC which attaches by hook fastener to the boot liner. It is purposefully designed to sit over the headrests. The Hatchbag seat covers (rear seat flap), protects the second row seats and the head rests. These car seat covers optimise the protection of the back seats and ensure that any spillages, wear and tear and dirt don’t damage your car’s interior. When looking at Hatchbag seat covers, they offer many benefits. Drooling dogs can be a big issue when it comes to interior protection. When you take your dog on an adventure, the standard boot liner protects the boot from their muddy paws and scratches. However, the exposed headrests and second row seats can become victim to drool. This is not only unpleasant for you, but can damage your headrests. With Hatchbag seat covers, the headrests are protected, and so are the back seats, meaning any drool from your excited pups can easily be wiped away. Another benefit of the rear seat flap is the extended coverage that it provides. Choosing a tailor-made car seat cover is very important if you want maximum coverage for your car. Transporting items that require your seats folded down? The Hatchbag seat covers ensure that you boot and second row will be protected. You can also add on a boot liner extension which offers even more coverage, spanning out from the base of the boot to the front seats.
Using your Rear Seat Flap
We have discussed the optimal protection that is guaranteed when using a Hatchbag seat cover. However, I want to delve into the functionality of car seat covers and how they can be beneficial for your lifestyle. Depending on your lifestyle and what you mainly use your vehicle for, Hatchbag car seat covers are simply extending the protection of your interior. The question you may ask yourself is, do I need more protection? This is dependent on two factors, how the car seat cover you choose functions and what does your lifestyle demand from your car. The Hatchbag car seat cover covers the headrests, solving the problem of drooling dogs, yet it also extends on to your back row seats when you put them down. You will have to ask yourself when purchasing, will you have your back seats down often and will pets or heavy objects be in your boot, extending to the second row seats. The fibre reinforced PVC that we use is extremely durable, so we can guarantee these protection elements. However, look at your lifestyle and what you are using your car for on a daily basis, to determine if this extra will be the best fit for you.
Why Should you Choose a Rear Seat Flap
Investing in a Hatchbag car seat cover is a smart move for many reasons. Here are some of the key features of the Hatchbag seat covers:
1.Durable- Every Hatchbag seat cover (rear seat flap) is made from the same material as the boot liner. This not only ensures the best levels of protection, but adds a cohesive element to your boot in terms of design.
2.Water-Resistant- If drooling dogs are your main problem, Hatchbag seat covers act as a great barrier. Drool can easily be wiped away in situ with soap and water.
3.Tailor-Made- Each Hatchbag seat cover is made to fit the dimensions of your car. No gapping or exposure of your headrests, Hatchbag has you covered. When looking for car seat covers for a hatchback, SUV or estate, universal options may seem tempting due to the lower price point. However, Hatchbag can guarantee you the best protection for your car that lasts and is always effective.
4.Long Lasting- Just like the Hatchbag boot liner, Hatchbag seat covers last the duration of your vehicle’s lifetime. No replacing or frustration of noticing damage, Hatchbag car seat covers always keep your trunk and second row seats protected.
