SAFEGUARD SABRE

No one provides better protection for children on school buses than IMMI’s SafeGuard. That’s why more districts trust us for 3-point lap-shoulder belts, integrated child seats, and portable restraints. SafeGuard school bus seats are not only designed to keep children safer, but they have the benefits of improving behavior, reducing bullying, and minimizing driver distraction.

Blue Bird Makes SafeGuard Sabre Seats Standard Safety Equipment on All Buses.

SafeGuard Sabre is the trusted school bus seat of choice on Blue Bird. Partnering with IMMI, Blue Bird offers SafeGuard’s lap-shoulder belts as standard safety equipment on their school buses. Starting in the fall of 2024, Blue Bird school buses come equipped with SafeGuard Sabre seats featuring three-point lap-shoulder belts. Not only do lap-shoulder belts provide additional protection for students, they also contribute to better behavior on the bus.

STANDARD SAFETY

SafeGuard Sabre seats are designed with SmartFrame Plus Technology and TattleTale® indicators, providing superior protection by absorbing impact energy more effectively. Along with customizable designs and best-in-class maintenance accessibility, these seats ensure both safety and convenience.

With this initiative, Blue Bird and IMMI are committed to delivering the highest level of safety and peace of mind for schools, parents, and most importantly, the students who rely on our buses every day.
