In April, I am taking my students on a trip to Winter Park, CO. We are flying into Denver and then taking a charter bus the last 60 miles. My son, who will have just turned 4 will be with me. Right now he is about 33 lbs and 38 inches tall. Would you be comfortable with him on the charter bus? There are not seatbelts, so I can't buckle his DC in, although I will be taking it on the plane.

I went to Winter Park on the way to a camp in Colorado when I was in high school.
About your question, I don't know what I would do. I probably would take him with me on the bus. Buses get in far less crashes statistically than cars. I would worry like crazy the whole time and if there were any other option I would take it. Is you dh going as well? Could he rent a car to bring the carseat along?

My DH is going, the thing I worry about there is that we are from Texas, so we never drive on the ice or snow. I wonder if he would be in more danger with one of us driving on ice and snow with him in a rental car in a car seat than he would with a bus driver that was used to it. Does that make sense???

That is a very good point. In that case, yes I'd keep your ds with you on the bus.
