Do Cars Need Seat Covers?

[JesseFitz]

It is recommended not to use seat covers for car seats, as some seats have side airbags that provide protection during a collision. If seat covers are installed, the airbags or curtains may be wrapped up, preventing them from deploying in the event of an impact and failing to provide effective protection. Here’s how airbags work: When sensors detect a vehicle collision, the gas generator triggers ignition, causing the airbag to undergo an explosive reaction that produces nitrogen or releases compressed nitrogen to fill the airbag. When passengers come into contact with the airbag, it absorbs the energy generated during the collision through cushioning, thereby protecting the passengers.
