Hi, I needs some ideas if you have dealt with this.
My son is 3. he is 30lbs and 39.5 inches with a 16 inch torso. He starts in the special needs preschool on thursday and he was going to ride the bus. I called them today to find out what kind of seats they had to see if he would fit in them. Well they didnt knwo what they were so I asked if I could come to the bus company to see them. They didnt want to but they did end up letting me. Well one of the reasons they didnt want me to come was because one seat was a century t-shield very old and expired the other was a combination dorel harness and booster which was also recalled. I told him that and he became very defensive with me insisting they were not expired.
Anyway he told since my son is too tall for both seats they would put him in a high back booster. I am not happy with this. This is a child with low mucsle tone, and he is globally delayed and is at best at a 2 year old level. I aslo live in wisconsin and the law here says that 1-4 years old and under 40lbs has to be in a harnessed child restraint. So does that law not work with school buses? He is suppose to be in the small yellow school bus. I have called the national safty protroll and they are trying to figure out who I need to talk to tofind out if it is legal to put a just turned 3 year old in a booster
Any thoughts or ideas would be great. Thanks so much
