$ year old on school bus?

I know Heather posted a similar thread, but I have a similar issue coming up soon. My son's school is going on a field trip in April to a place about 10-15 miles from the school. They will be taking a big school bus. I'm already planning to go on the field trip. How do all of you feel about 3-5 year olds on school buses? Personally, I feel that if I am with him to help him remember to stay seated, then I'm fine with it. Since he is so impulsive, I don't know if I'd want him to go on the bus without me or another adult next to him.

I know I'm in the minority but my kids went on field trip on big busses twice in 3 year old preschool and twice in 4 year old preschool. Evelyn at just 5 now rides the bus daily. It has never concerned me. Allegedly though compartmentilzation isn't effective until around 5 and 40 lbs. Umm I think. But I don't know for sure. Somewhere around that age and weight. And of course they need to sit properly. My kids have learned from a young age how to sit still and properly so I felt better about it. Both would have been ready for boosters by their 4th bday mentally

I'm fine with kids on buses. I'm considering getting a bus for personal family use. Okay, not really. But they really are very, very safe.
