A cost-effective way to be safe. And a safe way to be cost-effective.

Specify XChange base seats on your next bus. Then if you want to add or reconfigure belts at a later date, it takes less than ten minutes.

How XChange Seats Work

SafeGuard XChange school bus seating by IMMI provides a future-proof seating solution, so buyers no longer have to decide between belts and budget. Because SmartFrame is modular, the base seat can be easily XChanged to belted seating. In less than ten minutes, schools can add lap-shoulder belts or integrated child seats to any route at any time.

If your school district or business currently buys seats with lap-shoulder belts, or you have been deliberating about when to move ahead, the design of this new product line completely changes the economics of adding belts to buses. There’s never been a better way to move to belted seating.

Standard Seating

Base Seat Version
The SafeGuard Base Seat gives buyers true flexibility by enabling them to inexpensively equip their buses with versatile standard seating that can be XChanged to any type of belted seating in the future.

XChanges to other seat versions with lap-shoulder belts
or ICS in under ten minutes.

Most of the seat is reused in the exchange process, making SafeGuard XChange school bus seating a more environmentally friendly product.

Meets or exceeds all FMVSS regulations
for school bus seating.

Lap-Shoulder Belt Seating

FlexSeat Version
Invented by IMMI, SafeGuard FlexSeat resolves the capacity issue. Now one seat fits all.

Flex Seat

Safely transports up to three students on a
39 or 45-inch seat.

Maintains current unbelted seat rated capacity by offering belted seating for one, two or three students with proper fit and geometry.

Allows transportation directors to easily use the same buses for elementary, middle and high school routes.

Available with two belts in sizes including 30 and 36-inch.

Integrated Child Seating

ICS Version
The SafeGuard ICS offers the security of a built-in child restraint system with a five-point harness for children 22 to 85 pounds.

ICS Seat

Eliminates the need for add-on restraints or child seats for younger children.

Sliding shoulder height adjusters enable ICS to accommodate children of a wider range of heights than can be restrained in other integrated child seats.

Booster seat cushion with replaceable pad folds under itself for added comfort, elevation and cleanliness.

SmartFrame Technology
Enhanced Compartmentalization

SmartFrame modular construction offers a new benefit: the ability to future-proof the fleet by enabling seating update through the simple XChange of inner modules.

Knowing that school bus drivers cannot always ensure that every student remains belted for the duration of every ride, SmartFrame works to protect both belted and unbelted passengers.

The inner structure provides lap-shoulder belts and absorbs crash energy for the belted passenger. The outer seatback structure remains upright to cushion anyone in the seat behind who isn’t wearing a seat belt.

SmartFrame

SafeGuard seats meet or exceed all applicable government safety standards.
