   Should child seats be used on a school bus?

   • The provinces and territories determine in what circumstances, and in which vehicles, child seats must be used. School buses are simply the safest way to transport children to school. The size and weight of the vehicle and the safety features designed into it offer substantial protection to bus occupants in a collision.

   Can a child ride on a school bus?

   • Older children can ride on a school bus and can use their conventional car seats, in a harness specially made for school buses, or in a restraint specifically made for smaller children that is integrated into the bus seat itself. However, babies are rarely transported by school buses and when they do, they must ride rear-facing as they would in a car.

   How does a school bus protect children?

   Do school buses have seat belts?

   • Making sure all children are properly secured in seat belts is a lot more challenging in a 70-passenger school bus than in a 5-passenger car or 7-passenger minivan. This is one of the reasons we allow provinces, territories and school bus operators to decide whether to install seat belts. They are ultimately responsible for school bus operations.

   Is a child restraint required on a school bus?

   • Children younger than school age always need a child restraint on a school bus. This can be either a harness built into the bus itself or a traditional car seat fitted to the bus using the bus’s own seat belts. Unfortunately, not all seat belts on all buses are suitable for installing a child restraint.

   Are school buses safe?

   • School buses are the safest form of transportation for children. Children are many times safer riding a bus than any other form of transportation to school. Other vehicles have seat belts – why don't school buses? The passive safety system preferred for use in school buses is called compartmentalization.

    Children’s main protection on school buses comes from compartmentalization, or the even spacing of strong, securely anchored, padded seats. Federal standards currently require high-backed seats made of soft, energy-absorbing materials to keep passengers in their place in the event of a crash.
