Asking on behalf of a friend in Alaska...
Friend and her DH bought a school bus and are in the process of converting it into some sort of camper-type vehicle. They've got 2 children and are leaving two school bus seats installed (one for them to be in their car seats, and the other seat across from them for mom to sit and be near them if necessary). They currently have a Roundabout for their DD who is tiny at 4 (28 pounds I believe?) and she is forward-facing, and their 9-month-old is in a Britax Companion. Currently they're side-by-side on one seat, installed with bus seatbelts.
She was considering the Radian for when her younger one outgrew the Companion. Actually, she's wondering if 2 Radians would be a good idea since the "seat" part of a bus seat is so narrow. She also thought the idea of them folding up might be beneficial for when they're "camped" for days/weeks they can uninstall the seats and store them without taking up too much room.
Are there other options for her? What sort of seats are used on school buses for little ones? I was wondering if maybe they might be able to purchase car seats specifically made for school buses?
