Ok....I thought through every aspect of our trip except for this one. I am traveling with my husband's softball team to Florida with my 19 month old. We opted to buy a Cosco Scenera carseat for this trip and then give to my mom so that is what we will be traveling with(we have a graco smart seat in our car).
We will be taking a bus to the airport(about 1.5 hours) then flying to Florida where I will be renting a car.....we stay there for a week then fly to Virginia where the bus meets us as they play games and then driving us back to PA(about 7 hours). I know buses are safer than cars, but I would feel better if my daughter were in a carseat on this bus. I think she will sleep/travel better as well. On the bus IDC if she is RF or FF even though she only knows to be RF, I just want her to not be running all over the bus!!!
Do you think that it is possible/safe to put ratcheting straps around the seat of the bus and use it similar to a seatbelt to strap her carseat in? I would just be similar to a lap belt. I had a bus driver last year when I was still coaching tell me that he has done this before with his grandkids.
What do you think? Is she safer trying to strap her in our trying to get her to sit in an adult seat??
