I just got a new little boy in my class. He is 3 years old. Has down syndrome among other issues. He is about 20lbs and the size of a 8 or 9 month old. They had him riding in a safeguard seat that they have on all their buses. This poor little tiny boy was just hanging there in the seat with his head down (no head control) and leaning to either side (no trunk control). So after several emails and phone calls to the transportation dept ("whats a convertable car seat? You mean an infant seat? Oh we dont have any convertables") I finally was able to convince them to buy a scenera at walmart so he can rear face on his bus ride. Now the next issue is .....can the bus drivers install this correctly? We will find out when he arrives at school monday morning. I am putting my money on "NO." It wont be installed correctly. But I will fix it if need be. Will bring some pool noodles just in case. Just grateful that he wont be in the safeguard seat anymore. Poor little guy. Will post a pic next week
