Believe me, you do not want the Gias for daily. The Stradias are exercise enough

IMO that is the nicest seat for our cars... but it isnt even as safe as the stock seat with the stock seat belt, what I mean is there is no point in having a seat like that without a 6point harness and I think you would need a rollbar to mount such a thing. I say If you can afford a good 6point harness and a rollbar to mount it with keep it otherwise try to pick up a stock seat. Good luck though Im sure getting the seat with the S was a great deal

they way you can tell it is a stradia is that the leg bolsters are low. on the gias they are much higher.

I'm going to take a wild stab at it and say that the Bride seat causes the stock seat belt to be held away from your body, allowing your body to shift around in the seat during loss of car control. If this is the case, you may be able to unbolt the fixed end of the belt and run it through the shoulder hole of the seat and reattach it. That way the belt will actually be running across your shoulder.

But I could be way off because I've never done any of that before. Just wanted to get you something to go by in case no one responds (:

Im trying to search for it right now, but anyway I read something a while back kinda like Loudmusic said about how it puts the seatbelt in the wrong place something or other and it could be harmful in an accident.
