perforated leather seats and baby spills

the wife and I are a month away from our first child. we've heard that
leather seats are great for maintainability and easy clean up of spills.
milk / fluids does not immediately soak into leather, assuming you're able
to wipe up the spill relatively soon.

we're considering the 2006 CR-V SE which comes w/ leather. when we visited
the dealership, we noticed the leather was a perforated leater (little holes
in the leather). I assume it's for breathability.

the question is: does the perforation / holes in the leather reduce it's
ability to repel fluids from seeping into the seat and cushion? i don't
want to pay more for leather, only to have spills ultimately leak through to
the cushion and a car reaking of old milk.

any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

You're kidding, right?

Of course the spill will goes through the holes.

Also, you've got KIDS now!! Give up any hope of having anything nice
for 25 years.

 

You will have fewer problems if you go with the cloth seats and invest in a
can of Scotch Guard every once in a while. We have found (the hard way)
that the leather can be permanently distorted from the odd parts of the baby
seats pressing into it and permanently discolored from that one spill that
no one noticed under the baby seat.
