Thoughts on these seats

Has anyone bought these before? They look good in pictures & the reviews are mostly solid. My main concern is safety and also fitment. What are yalls thoughts?

knockoff Braums. Friend of mine has a set and has been pretty happy with them, but I've seen some horror stories from users in the FB groups. Personally, I wouldn't trust it.

Safety in a car seat, (and I can speak to this as I have been in the seating industry for 34 years), is all on the mounting. Many have used the Amazon seats and have been very happy with them. I will likely replace my seats with Amazon replacements one day but I will modify them to use the factory seat rails. So, from a professional in the seating industry who has to pass NHTSA and IIHS tests, I will say that it is all on you and how you mount them to the car. If the rails you receive with the seats are cheap then I do not recommend using the rails.

I have similar seats in my car. They were actually from the same seller. Its the black seats with the blue stitching. They fit fine. Its a very close fit but they're in there. I can't really say about the safety aspect. They are a nice a update for my 20 years old factory seats. I even made a youtube video of the install if anyone is interested. 5555

I have similar Amazon seats in my car. I built a rail so the stock power setup still worked. They were stiff until some seat time broke them in. No complaints.
