Back to school and bus questions???

I just got the 'transportation request' form from my daughter's school.
(She is in speech therapy preschool, and she rides the bus to and from school.)

Last year, I put on the form that she MUST be in a car seat, and they complied.
This year the form is different. It asks if I have any 'special requests and there are three boxes to check off
-car seat
-booster seat
-seat belt

Last year she rode in a Cosco Scenera, but now, she is 40 lbs, and over the top straps of the Scenera, so that won't work.
So...normally I would say a booster - BUT the belts on the bus are all LAP belts! :eek: I don't want her in one with or without a booster! (And...I called to ask, and they don't have any higher-weight harnessed seats or travel vests.)
I even asked..."If I buy a MA and install it, can she use that?"
However, I found out that she has to transfer buses once on the way there, and she rides a different bus home...so she's on a total of 3 buses!

What do I do :confused:

Her school is one the opposite side of town from us (about 25 minutes each way - so driving her takes almost 2 hours - and by the time I take her in, hang up coats, etc. it's well over 2 1/2 hours!) and we homeschool, so that really cuts into our school day.
