So I have a class of 8 multi-handicapped/medically fragile children. One little boy is a TINY 4 year old little boy with downs syndrome (among other things). About the size of a 1 or 1.5 year old. He rides rear facing in a cosco serena on the bus to and from school. He is 28lbs sopping wet. VERY low tone. Well this morning there was a sub driver in a different bus. "T" arrived in ......wait for it.....a evenflo discovery infant seat DOM 2002. 3pt harness that was so loose I could have removed him from the seat without unbuckling it. Belly clip. Straps way above the shoulders. The base was attached but they had it installed as if they were installing it without a base AND it was so loose that I could move it all over the bus seat. His head was right at the top of the seat. The handle was up. His big bulky coat was on. (they have been told over and over by me to put it on backwards AFTER he is buckled in.). And his backpack was not secured and the other seatbelt next to the seat he was in was not buckled and would have smacked him in the face had there been a sudden stop....assuming he was still IN the seat since there wasn't much holding him into the seat.
I got back to my classroom and wrote a page long email to the director of transportation about this and am waiting to hear back. I was just so mad when I saw what dangerous situation they put my little guy in. :thumbsdown: TRAIN YOUR DAMN DRIVERS ON HOW TO INSATALL A CAR SEAT FOLKS!
