Quality,safety.supporting real companies..bride actually test their products for safety where as I'm assuming knockoffs do not

Actually its the other way around. Bride doesnt test their seats.

Knock off companies do multiple test including the hungry she bear test in which they put a baby dolphin in a bride seat and let a she bear lick the jelly off its lips.

If the seat does not catch on fire it passes and can be used for build thread pictures of a cat and or dog shatting on the seat cushion. Years later your girlfriend leaves you for your dog and or cat.

Mostly the fabric tags and stickers. Remember the Zeta III is FIA certified too so look for that. Do you have pics of the seats? I can probably tell you.

in my opinion, its all in the fabric and padding. Hard to explain... but if the fabric feels cheap, its cuz its fake. Of all the fake brides I've seen on people's cars, the fabric gets worn out FAST, and they've probably had it for only a few months.

LOL..

crackin me up with this shit.

Bride seats are made from quality materials, (fabric, stitching, padding) also there focused on making a good seat.
Knock off's are focused on making good money.

Bride seats are beaver approved.

If you sit in a real zeta 3 vs a fake, the real one feels much more solid, but it is tighter.

So people with a bigger build might light the fakes better since they offer a little more space.

Real Bride's would be available from authorized dealers and Fake ones would be readily available from eBay and Craigslist
