    I am going to do the same thing when we finally replace ours. I was going to use PUL - Squiddy will know what that is. It was the best fabric I thought would be suitable to make covers for the seats.

    I can remember as kids that mum and dad put a small towel on our chairs that we sat on. It did the job.

    atm we use oild nappies but they are not thick enough and they are not water proof we want the dining sweet to last a very long time

    I bought wooden chairs for that very reason. Someone I know had thick plastic put over hers by her apholsterer. It lasted years and didn't rip.

    If you're buying a new one maybe you should look out for leather chairs, they wipe off so easily.

    we have got leather chairs and they are very practical in terms of spills, wipe up great.

    good luck.
