Introducing SafeGuard Sabre®, the latest innovation in school bus safety from IMMI, the company renowned for Bringing Safety to People®. The SafeGuard Sabre features cutting-edge SmartFrame Plus Technology with TattleTale® indicators, ensuring unparalleled protection for both belted and unbelted passengers. With customizable designs, superior commercial-duty seat belts, and best-in-class maintenance accessibility.
Sabre sets a new standard in school bus seating and is available on Blue Bird, Collins, IC Bus and Thomas Built Bus. Trust in the proven safety and quality of SafeGuard Sabre, where advanced technology meets exceptional versatility for the ultimate in school bus safety for students.
The Sabre seat features inline sliding shoulder height adjusters that allow the belt to be positioned correctly for passengers of different sizes. This ensures a proper fit across a wide range of riders, which is essential for maximizing both safety and comfort. By making adjustment simple and intuitive, the system encourages correct belt placement and consistent use, helping improve overall protection for every passenger.
Sabre seat belts use smooth, durable webbing designed to enhance comfort and encourage everyday use. The material allows the belt to move freely across clothing and reduce friction, making it easier for riders to buckle and wear correctly. By combining comfort with commercial-duty durability, the smooth webbing supports long-term performance while helping increase rider acceptance of the restraint system.
High-performance retractors in the Sabre seat provide consistent belt tension and smooth extension and retraction. This helps keep belts properly positioned during use while minimizing slack that could compromise effectiveness. Designed for reliability in high-use school bus environments, the retractors contribute to both passenger comfort and optimized restraint performance.
Sabre seats offer customizable vinyl options, including multi-tone combinations that allow fleets to tailor the seat appearance to match branding or interior preferences. These durable materials are designed to withstand daily wear while maintaining a clean, professional look. The ability to choose different colors and finishes ensures that safety upgrades can be implemented without compromising on style or district identity.
SmartFrame Plus® Technology enhances the Sabre seat’s ability to manage crash energy by improving how the seat back absorbs and distributes forces. The design accounts for the unique dynamics of both belted and unbelted passengers, delivering improved protection in real-world scenarios. By increasing controlled deformation and energy absorption, SmartFrame Plus helps reduce injury risk while maintaining durability and structural integrity.
The Sabre platform is engineered for flexibility, allowing for straightforward upgrades as transportation needs evolve. Seat backs can be configured or reconfigured to incorporate features such as 3-point lap-shoulder belts or integrated child restraint systems without requiring full seat replacement. This adaptability helps protect long-term investment while making it easy to enhance safety and functionality over time.
IMMI has engineered seating which can make
your buses 100% regulation proof.
