Early Childhood Transit Solutions

Daycare providers have a significant responsibility to reassure parents their children will be safe, on and off site. When organizations require high-capacity transportation for small children, the optimal solution is a specialized compact bus. With up to 28 passenger capacity, a daycare bus is a smaller unit that rides big. It’s perfect for a daycare-sized group.

Buses are designed to be the safest vehicle on the road and must meet rigorous safety standards. There is significant focus on seating safety. Bus seats are designed to be safe, even without restraints, by using compartmentalization.  However, seatbelts are also available as an additional form of security. 

Advanced Restraint Systems

Small children are less likely to understand that to stay safe, they need to stay in their seat. This is particularly true of very young children. Seatbelts can offer assurance for the driver, knowing that everyone on board is safely in their place while the bus is in motion. And while it may take a bit more time to secure kids during load and unload, it’s the peace of mind that operators and parents want when transporting toddlers and small children.

While bus seating is engineered for passenger protection via compartmentalization, additional restraint systems provide a another layer of security that can be a valuable addition, especially for smaller children. Booster seats, integrated child seats and flex seatbelts are optional restraint systems to consider for your operation.

Bus-specific booster seats, similar to a car booster, are available but are designed to fit bus seats. They provide a five-point, add-on restraint system that easily adjusts to provide a proper, secure fit for children.

Integrated child seats, which are built into the bus seat, offer the security of a built-in child restraint system with a five-point harness for children 26.5 to 85 lbs. This eliminates the need to strap in a car seat.

Flex seatbelts are an innovative system that provide flexibility to belt in 3 small children or 2 larger kids in the same seat. The belts are color coded to assist children that are able to belt themselves. Sliding shoulder height adjusters and buckles also accommodate children of a wide range of heights. That’s safety innovation at work!

Structural Safety Features

School buses are engineered with a comprehensive suite of both visible and integrated safety features designed to maximize passenger protection.

• Advanced Braking Systems: Equipped with four-wheel anti-lock braking systems (ABS) to ensure optimal stopping control and stability under diverse road conditions.
• Reinforced Structural Integrity: The bus body features specialized external ribbing for greater side strength. Additionally, the safety-cage body construction uses one-piece, skirt-to-skirt roof bows to safeguard the passenger seating area.
• Rollover and Emergency Protection: Internal roof crash rails provide rollover protection, and if needed, easily accessible emergency exits.

School buses have to meet stringent federal safety standards. There is no safer daycare vehicle for kids to ride in than a school bus!

Let’s not forget about the driver – they need safety features too! A well designed bus assists the driver to maintain focus on the road and minimizes distractions. Thoughtful designs include: 

• Control Placement: Traditional, crowded dashboard buttons are replaced with an overhead, easy-access control panel.
• Control Coloration: Switches are clearly marked and color-coded, making them easy to locate with a quick glance
• Enhanced Rear Visibility: A high-definition backup camera provides a clear view of the blind spots behind the vehicle, ensuring safe reversing and maneuvering.
