Thinking Of Buying A Bus- Car Seat Questions

TyAndCheyMommy · Jan 12, 2011

I have been looking at buying a short bus... I have found a few that have seatbelts and stuff... but most it seems unless it is a "transport" van then they do not have seat belts.
I can have some seatbelts put in- but I am not sure how well shoulder belt would fit in one...
So I was wondering about some kind of harness?? I know the local head start bus has a harness- but I don't know what weight they go up to... and where they got them
I would need them to hold the older kids- and I would need to add the lap belts for the little kids car seats... but I don't know if that is something I can do.
Anyone know??

I would probably start by looking at the school bus-specific products at EZ-On Pro. They have harnesses that are made for school bus use, in addition to floor mounts, seat mounts, and Cam harnesses, which wraps around a bus seat.

Unfortunately, they don't sell directly from their website, so you'd need to use their "Ordering" page to find a distributor in your area. I think their may be some places that sell them online, but I don't know what they are.

These harnesses are obviously only appropriate for FF kids, so I'm not sure what to advise about seatbelts for installing RF seats. I'm hoping that someone who has been through the school bus training (yes, there is an entire separate course just for buses!) will come to chime in.
