I don't know if the bus has seat belts. There is a flyer hanging up in the school regarding upcoming field trips they are taking the kids on this summer. It says the kids must be 4 years old (mine is), but it is also directed towards the older age group.
His school has "leap frogs" ages 3-4 and "butterflies" ages 4-5. My boy is still a leap frog, so I need to find out if they plan to take him on the field trip. I feel better about him traveling on a school bus when he is 5.
He rides rear facing in my car, but he would LOVE to ride the school bus and I'd hate for him to be left out. I recently had asked that he be moved to the butterfly classroom as soon as possible because they had a dingbat teacher in his classroom and he was being bullied by another student. Now dingbat quit and there is a very good, experienced teacher in his class, he is fine and happy in the leap frog class.
I've never seen the inside of the bus though, that's probably the first step......
