Consumer Description

THOMAS BUILT BUS - SAFE-T-LINER C-2: TWO INSTANCES IN LAST 4 MONTHS OF CHILDREN SLIDING FORWARD OUT OF THEIR SEATS AND BECOMING WEDGED ON THE FLOOR BETWEEN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT SUPPORTS. EACH INCIDENCE REQUIRED APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES TO EXTRICATE THE TRAPPED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILD. I BELIEVE THAT FRONT TO BACK SEAT SPACING IS TOO TIGHT. IN AN EMERGENCY, THIS COULD BE A CONCERN. *TR
