I have no problem with him going by bus & I know thay they would be pretty well behaved, its the fact that if the bus was involved in an accident my 5 yr old who is normally fully restrainted in an age appropriate seat in the car would be likely to be seriously injured.

I have found out from another parentt hat the school uses the coach that has seatbelts fitted for big trips, so I am happy about that but will be confirming this with the school before sending him on the trip.

Its the idiots on the road that worry me most. Yes I know he could be involved in an accident on the way there while in my car BUT he woul dbe safer as he would be in his seat, buckled in.
