I remember reading here many times that compartmentalization is designed for an average 1st grader. I remember some mention of 60lbs, or was it 40?
DH and I toured a school yesterday and I asked about field trips. They said they start on the last year of pre-school (when dd would be 41/2) and continue through K and elementary school. They said they stopped using parent drivers and now use buses only. So I know that dd won't even be remotely close to the size of an average 1st grader by the time she's 41/2, she's in the 25% for weight.
I was hoping someone could send me some links to info on why the buses aren't safe for younger kids, even if there's extra adults making sure they stay seated properly. I might need to discuss this with the school when the time comes or with DH soon if this ends up affecting our choice of school.
TIA!
