Default Bride Seats and passengers.

I was planning on getting some matching Bride Cuga's, Gias, Stradia, Brix II or Ergo II ( I don't know yet). Now the thing is the bolsters on these seats aren't small and I was wondering how everyone has there cars setup for the passengers. I noticed that some run the bucket for drivers side and then finish off with a Brix II or Ergo II or have a full set of Gias or Stradia's for both driver and passenger sides.

I don't carpool a lot but was wondering if anyone here had a friend or girlfriend that couldn't get in these seats (which is understandable) or someone thats complained.

I just thought if I'm enjoying my ride in my whatever seat I'm in then the passenger should be just as comfortable. So I thought of running something like the XAX II or Vorga's with no side bolsters.

What has everyone with Brides or any other racing seats come across? Do people not ride in your car or do you only let the skinnies ride? (ps: I have nothing against big people)

Maybe I should have a "chicks only can ride in the passenger side" rule.............

Thanks!

ask "CEO350Z"...he'll tell you how much he hates my Stradias... because he couldn't fit. I was going to give him a ride, to find out he doesn't fit.

As long as the slender females fit, it's all good.

^^^+1 my girl is all of 100 (wet), so she doesn't mine the high bolsters on the Brix II, but I on the other hand I hated them when I first got mine. I guess over time I just learned to love them, and besides I rairly drive the Z long distances.

Straia has low bolsters - so you can get a GIAS driver/Stradia passenger

Same with Cuga/Vorga. Cuga for driver/Vorga for passenger - same seat, different bolsters.

I've had no issues with my Brix (driver/passenger) - I'm 195-200 lbs, my gf is about 105

If you're girl has hips then they are not going to like the Bride Brix II. If you wanna do a ErgoII for driver and XAXII for passenger they have the same backs. That way you have the same look w/o the high side bolsters. Or go w/ Adam's advice.

Even if you're girl fits, sometimes you have a buddy that needs a lift and if they don't fit in your seat it kinda sucks!

Yeah that makes sense and this is still a dilemma I'm at but it's all good because I plan on getting a nice seats for myself.

Decision, Decisions.....

Thanks for the info everyone. I've thought about the Cuga/ Vorga setup but didn't know that the Ergo II had the same backing as the XAX II so it'll match better and didn't think about a Gias/Stradia setup.

She would have to be built like Chyna to not fit! I am 5'11, 200 ish pounds, and I fit just fine in 'em If the friend needs a lift, he shouldn't complain about the seats lolololol. Or, its a very good motivator to join a gym. Thankfully, I seem to be good at perpetually maintaining weight, so they work well for me. For Kwame, my seats (and his) were a major motivating factor to him getting back to the gym
