Why PREMIER?

The PREMIER™ is proven to deliver full compartmentalization protection to unbelted passengers within the unique environment of motorcoaches. In contrast, current non-belted motorcoach seating is not designed to provide any meaningful compartmentalization.

PREMIER offers a higher level of seating safety verses conventional 3-point belted motorcoach seats. Adding belts to a single frame (normal design) seat doesn’t work. If the seatback is too weak, it will fold with the belted passenger in a frontal crash, eliminating compartmentalization for any unbelted passengers in the seat behind. If the seatback is overly rigid, it can create injuries for unbelted passengers.

Crash testing shows seats with dual frame (SmartFrame™) technology yield the lowest injury values for belted and unbelted passengers, compared to seats with single frame designs.
