Replacing old or worn-out foldaway seating in your bus or van can make a big difference in passenger comfort and vehicle efficiency. Fleet managers and owner-operators know that dependable, space-saving seats are essential for keeping vehicles functional and riders happy.

What Is a Foldaway Seat?
Foldaway seats for vans and buses are designed to provide flexible seating arrangements while saving space when not in use. These seats easily fold against the vehicle wall or frame, allowing more room for wheelchairs, luggage, or equipment.

Foldaway bus seats are constructed with strong mounting hardware and safety restraints that meet rigorous industry standards. Their versatility makes them a popular choice among commercial operators who want both comfort and practicality in one efficient design.
