Build around the seating area

Extend the seat top—or add separation beside it.

Start with the space the route needs. The final shield size, attachment locations, and orientation depend on the vehicle and seating position.

Seat-top shield

A shorter clear shield mounts at the top of the seat and extends the seat boundary upward. It does not run all the way to the ceiling.

The original purpose remains

Born from a public-health need. Ready for what routes need now.

Original Soft Shield began as a response to COVID-19 and the need for separation in shared transportation. That history stays part of the product—while today’s site leads with student support, adaptable seating, and specialized transportation.
