Would an almost 41inch, 35-38lb 4year-old(Editing, at her 4 year checkup in June she was almost 41inches, at her appointment today she was 43inches) be safe on a school bus without a restraint?
I went with my sister to fill out the paper work for Jordyn(niece) to start preschool, they said she's in the ECEAP program(11AM-2PM) and the bus for the headstart kids(9AM-11AM) will pick the kids up and drop them off before the headstart kids end, but they will ride home on the bus with the older kids. When I asked about restraints, she said the bus to school will have harnesses, but the bus home won't. She went on to tell us that the ECEAP kids sit in the first 4 rows.
Just knowing how I was riding the bus as a kid, this scares me. But then searching I've come to a lot of talk about compartmentalization being the reason to not have restraints, to me it sounds like its saying their safe because their just thrown between well padded seats?
