Standard lap seat belts only

3 point lap and shoulder belts (lap belt with diagonal shoulder strap)

A 5 point harness (a lap belt, two shoulder belts and a crotch strap)

A mix of the above so different passengers could choose the level of protection they want.

Only those who want to

Anyone under the age of 21

If a seat belt or safety harness was available to you on a train ride would you wear it.

Yes, for the whole trip.

No, I wouldn't at all

Only when we started out or came into the final station

Only when I was sleeping

Only when I was seated

If Seat belts were available on trains for your children would you make them wear them?

Don't have children.

Yes, the whole time

No, I not at all

Only if they wanted to

Only if they misbehaved

I have multiple children and my decision would be based on their ages and behaviors on the train
