My high school orchestra (I'm a teacher) is going to Florida for spring break. It is 22 hours on the bus. I am taking the almost 3 and 5 year olds with me. We drive all night going, and all night coming back. Due to the travel restriction on our work schedules, the kids have to ride the bus. Driving separately is not an option. I have to ride the bus, and DH can't drive all night that long by himself. So, though in my perfect world, we'd drive separately, that just isn't an option this time.
So...I was considering taking DFS's XTSL and using a nylon strap/winch to strap it to the seat so he could sleep RFing in it. Aside from (obviously) not being tested by the manufacturer, is there anything inherently dangerous in doing this? I am not interested in the crash worthiness--mostly that the seat doesn't fall over on ME, who will be sleeping next to him. Would tethering it be a good idea if there is a place? I also have a Frontier, Maestro, Marathon, and TFP if anyone thinks those might work better. Radian just seemed the narrowest.
Or, does anyone have any good ideas for keeping a G-J tube kid contained on a bus for a long time? He has to be contained while I am sleeping so he doesn't get tangled in his tube and yank it out of his belly somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks for any ideas you can offer! Like I said, the ideal way would be to drive separately, but that isn't an option on this trip, so I need to create the safest I can given the parameters.
