**Whoops - messed up my quote ~ Hannathy said - Buses are designed differently than cars and the laws of physics help keep you safe.
Millions of children have ridden and do ride buses everyday around the world and at Disney and are safe. Mine always loved being "big" and riding at Disney without it.

That's called compartmentalization ~ and it doesn't work till the "average" child is 6 years old - smaller than that it doesn't work. See here ~ http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/portal/sit...CM1000002c567798RCRD&overrideViewName=Article
OP ~ I'm also a car seat tech who's all for extended rear facing, extended harnessing ~ around here parents are excited for their kids to be out of a *car seat* ~ I don't get that
, thankfully the law here is up until 8 years of age they need something in a car, but I have my own *law* as long as you can fit in a car seat/booster seat, you'll use it ~ seat belts are made for adults so until a child is the size of a small adult a seat belt isn't enough. Now that DD has outgrown her travel seat *Cosco Scenera ~ great travel/2nd seat* she uses a backless booster when we fly *I gate check it* however when we flew to WDW last Oct. I didn't bring anything for her since we used Disney transportation - but she was 6. When we visit DLR we usually have a private car service take us from the airport to our hotel and then back to the airport, you bet DD sits in a booster seat.
FYI ~ her main seat is a big Britax, we don't fly with that beast![scared :scared: :scared:](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/scared.gif)
