Key Features

Patent-Pending Safety Technology

The seat back flexes and tilts forward up to 15 degrees in a frontal impact. Designed with J.R. Kennedy's patent-pending technology, the seats provide non-rebounding, anti-whiplash protection that is the utmost in safety.

Adjustable Seatbelts

You can set the seatbelts to fit any size passenger comfortably. The fully-adjustable seatbelts are part of a patented roll-lock system. In the event of a rollover, the belts lock and hold a passenger securely in place.

High-Strength Steel Frame

Manufactured with high-strength steel tubing, the Tilt-Lock Seat™ is designed and built to exceed government mandated strength requirements.

Simple, Fast, Cost-Efficient Maintenance

Extensive research and development ensures that regular maintenance and upkeep of the Tilt-Lock Seat is quick and easy for you. And much less expensive compared to other seats on the market. Replacing seat covers is also a fast and simple operation that takes minutes, instead of hours.

Cost-Saving Installation Features

By utilizing the same mounting points and hardware on the legs and side rail mounts, seats can be easily secured on the left or right side of the vehicle. It saves you time and money when installing these advanced safety seats.

 

Safety Features of The Future Available Now

 
To protect children and adults on buses and other forms of public transportation, it takes advanced engineering and manufacturing techniques. After researching various seat mechanisms and crash tests, we have created a superior safety seat designed for long-term reliability. The result is the seat of the future that you can have in your vehicle today.

Safety mechanisms in the seats are customizable to provide the proper dampening and load capabilities for any size passenger, from preschoolers to adults. And the new seat is flexible enough to be used in all types of passenger vehicles - not just school buses.

The child-proof safety mechanism holds the seat securely in place unless there is a frontal impact, at which time the Tilt-Lock mechanism engages and allows the seat to flex forward up to 15°, protecting and lessening injury to the passengers in the seat and passengers behind the seat, even if those occupants are not belted.

In a minor impact, when the seat does not flex the full 15°, it can be easily reset to its original position with a special tamper-proof key. So the seat doesn't have to be replaced, saving money and keeping buses on the road instead of in the shop.

Standard Options to Fit Your Needs

 

Our Tilt-Lock Safety Seats are offered in three standard sizes: 30", 39",and 45". The smaller size accommodates two passengers. The larger sizes can comfortably hold three riders. All positions have adjustable seatbelts.

The seats can be attached easily to the right or left side of the vehicle. On the larger seat, the center seatbelt can adjust to either a left or right side installation using pre-mounted attachment points.

The seatbelts are height-adjustable to accommodate any size passenger. And again, all seat positions feature a patented roll-lock seatbelt system, which protects each belted passenger in the event of a vehicle rollover.
