DD is 2 yrs 8 mos & 31ish lbs her preschool class is taking a field trip and it's a day that I work. They have a 15 passenger van and do use harnessed seats for the younger kids (HBB for the older). I drove her on her last field trip and from what I could see when they were loading the kids it does not look like the seats were tethered. They did seem to do a good job of tightening the harnesses & placing the chest clip properly. However some of the seats looked older, possibly expired. I'm going to speak with the director to see if they have had their seats checked by a tech recently and ask if I could check out the van & seats prior to her going, but I still don't know if I'm comfortable with it. Especially if there are no TAs...
I was actually surprised that they did as well as they did with kids harnessed & in HBB. Her class is for 2.5-5yo and I expected a lot worse after hearing some stories of how schools transport.
