I was wondering if anyone else on these forums has installed either the Bride GIAS or STRADIA. The two seats are extremely similar, the only difference being that the side bolsters [leg area] are shorter on the STRADIA model making it easier to get in and out.

I purchased 2 STRADIA seats back in November and I am still awaiting the container.

I would like to see some install pics and if the seat interferes with anything in cabin, and for refrence I did not get the "low max" version.

Here is a pic of the seat [mine are in all black with red stitching]

 

STRADIA seats are not showm on the Bride USA web site ( tees-usa.com).



The seat you have shown is a GIAS low max

 

Uhmm it is listed if you look under pricing, it's right under GIAS. Also if you wish to check out the differences go to this site

Edit: Sorry for the confusion, but I don't the STRADIA was advertised in the U.S. really. And the whole "low max" thing just reffers to how low the cushion sits you, not the side bolster part that keeps your legs from moving side to side.

 

I will keep tracking this thread I want to see some pictures when they come in.

 

those are are the stradias shown, the gias has a bigger side than the stradia's. You can also get two types of cushions one high and one low. The one pictured is high.

 

heres the link of it installed, but its the gias: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...pic=433358&hl=

 

at one point in time i had both these seats in my house, and after sitting in both these seats while waiting for my car, I could just see myself getting in and out of the Stradias better. As far as how they grip you, the upper part of the seat is great on both cause they are the same, but the side bolsters on the Gias make a BIG difference.

As far as installation goes, these were real easy to install, the glove box opens and closes fine, doesnt hit the doors, but invest in harnesses, cause factory seat belts are not gonna happen.

 

Stradias Most likely still to tight for a 36/37" waist

 

With either the GIAS or the Stradias where do the upper harness holes line up with the factory roll hope covers???

If you look backwards parallel to the road can you see over the factory covers (through the center hole ) when looking through the harness guides.
Roll bar/harness bar build related question.

 

if you get the bride rail you can still use the stock seatbelt
