Just what we were looking for to protect our chairs from both of our small, messy eaters (with some style)! I took one for a trail run to make sure they would work before committing to a whole set of four. These kids are the reason we cant have nice things, ha! The elastic stays put at the base of the seat despite their constant wiggling and I am ecstatic that Ive finally found some washable covers that were also my taste. Love em!!!
