Company officials said that the TRP seat covers are manufactured to meet national standards and all FMVSS safety requirements for school bus seating, and they fit all major applications, including IC Bus, Blue Bird and Thomas Built Buses.
TRP seat covers are available in 42- or 52-ounce standard material or a fire-block option and a wide range of colors. The choice of more than 80 covers, including backs, high backs and bottoms, enables matching the TRP seat cover with the bus age or application.
