I struggled with this but eventually I came to terms that slightly creased seats is probably better than a child with a broken neck.
What? That's pretty rediculous Think about it, assuming the seat is strapped in properly, how is a piece of fabric under a seat going to change the laws of physics and suddenly make a seat unsafe?

Neither of my two car seats that I own (Graco 4 ever and Safety 1st High Back 65) make such a restriction.
The Graco actually promotes using a seat protector.

From the manual:
"Vehicle seat protection

Protect vehicle seat. Use a car seat mat, towel, or thin blanket under and behind the car seat"
