[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you do a online search you can find out about school bus design and safety.  Here is a link to an article from the NHTSA.  Note - I beleive there is another point of view.

Thanks, but I'm particularly interested in small school buses that have shoulder/lap belts installed (by law).  I'd like to know if children have to use them by law.  Not getting anything from my Google search, so I guess the situation is that small school buses must have the belts installed, but kids don't have to use them?

Anyone have kids on a small school bus - does the bus driver insist they belt up?

I'm guessing that this is either state law (like other seatbelt and car seat laws), or school district/private school policy. If I wanted to know the answer, I would start with my public school district's transportation department or whoever is in charge of bus transportation at my private school.[/quote]
