Walking Bus Strap

Are you responsible for other people's children?
Are you doing your utmost to protect them?

The Walking Bus Strap is a UK Designed and manufactured safety strap to assist in the safe transportation of up to 20 nursery and primary aged children, whilst away from the main school. Highly effective at keeping kids safe, especially when used in conjunction with our yellow high visibility waistcoats for the children and orange waistcoats for the adults.

When walking alongside a road, a group of children is often difficult to manage. The slightest second can make a huge difference in controlling a child. The Walking Bus Strap is made so that the lead teacher/adult can feel if a child is trying to pull away from the line. The child pulling will also have difficulty in pulling out of line due to the weight of the child in front or behind. The idea is to stop/delay the child in moving out into the road or any other dangerous area, whilst giving a warning to the teacher/adult that a child is moving out of line.

The main strap (Master strap) is 4 metres in length and has an adjustable strap on the front and rear of the master strap for use by teachers or adults in charge of the group. The Strap is made of high visibility material to ensure visual awareness.

The main strap can be reduced in size to allow for the monitoring of a smaller number of children. The individual tag straps ( Tags ) are made of Polyurethane material and are anti bacterial and waterproof protected. They are made with an adjustable plastic reducer so that they can fit securely around the child’s wrist.

The Individual Tags have a fixed loop that can be easily slid onto the Master strap dependant on number of children being moved. Each child can attach their own tags to their own wrists and then slot themselves onto the master strap in order of transportation. The Tags, then allow movement of the arm and movement along the master strap if required.

Recent research has shown that children up to the age of 9 do not have the skill and ability to be safe in traffic on their own. Children have difficulty in using the road safetly because they:

Are unable to judge speed and distance accurately
May concentrate for only short periods of time
May notice only one thing at a time e.g vehicles travelling on one side of the road only
Have trouble working out where sounds come from
Are small and cannot see over cars and bushes and drivers often cannot see children
Are on the move and may forget to stop at a kerb
Have a reduced ability to notice objects in their side vision
May imitate inappropriate adult behaviour such as running across the road
