Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to seat belts. More particularly, the present invention comprises a seat belt that can be easily attached to an existing bench seat, such as a school bus seat. The present invention comprises a length of suitable webbing that is adapted to form two loops that each encircle the back of a bench seat. The loops are preferably joined near the seat portion of the bench seat and each loop can be opened to allow installation onto the seat and to allow access to the passenger. In this manner, a lap restraint and a pair of shoulder restraints are formed.
