I don't think this is true.

It is. Worry-wart parents have just helicoptered so much about staying rear-facing and in a booster for as long as possible that the masses take it as true now.

One of DS friend's showed up to a boy scout trip with his booster. He was 10 at the time. A 15-passenger van full of 10-11 year-olds all with seat belts except one special snowflake.

The image in my mind has me lol

No, the real funny thing is that he was probably the only scout properly belted.

But kids don't wear seatbelts on schoolbuses so what's the difference? Honest question – not trying to be snarky or anything but at 10 years old I'm pretty sure you're OK without a seat booster in a 15 passenger van .

Those vans are the worst as they can tip over easier than a car and often don't have head rests so the head is not supported in a crash. I'd want my kid in a HBB in one.
