Greyhound and seat belts AND LATCH!

Someone posted a thread last year about greyhound having seat belts and LATCH. I thought I would update with pictures for those interested.

Greyhound has a new line of direct route buses called Bolt. The fares depend on the day, time, and time of purchase. Each way will cost a different amount. But they're cheap! Kid seats are half price I believe.

We just got the new Bolt buses here. They are remodeled greyhound buses with more leg room and wifi.

Anyway, all their new seats have adjustable Safeguard seat belts. They adjust really low. Like TB lowest setting low. Behind the seat belt it explains that the adjustable seat belt is for riders over 40 lbs. Riders under 40lbs need to ride in a seating location equipped with LATCH.

I'm going to guesstimate that about a third of the seats have LATCH. The lower anchors are very easy to see and get to. The top tether on the other hand, is not. The top tether is located at the back base of the seat like on a lot of captain chairs. The greyhound seats are tall though. So unless you have a very long strap or a versa tether, there could be issues.
Here are some pictures!






I'm sorry the pictures aren't clearer. The people thought I was really weird taking pictures of the seats. And sorry the pictures are sooo big!

I saw on their website a couple of years ago that Greyhound had ordered some of those, but this is the first "IRL encounter" I've heard of! Coolness!

Awesome!

That is really awesome! Thank you for taking the time to take pictures even while people were staring like you were crazy.

I wonder how the lap belt fits on younger travelers when the shoulder portion is adjusted correctly. If it doesn't fit well and the child is >40 lbs, would it be acceptable to install a HWH seat with those seat belts?

I looked up the Bolt buses and we don't have them, yet at least. I hope that some day an inexpensive bus route becomes available from Buffalo, IN to Ft. Wayne, IN. One can dream.

You would need a locking clip if you were to install a seat with the seat belt. I totally plan on taking DD's oobr if I take her with me next time. Then, there would be no question about belt fit. I almost think they should have a few lite riders stored above for those parents not putting their kids in seats.
