Older kids are not, and belts are not even available. I don’t know how hard and fast a rule that is, but that has been our experience over the past 3 years (with kids of preschool and elementary school age).

It was a nice way to start the morning.

I haven’t been on a school bus probably since 1991, so do they have seatbelts or not on them? I remember they tried to put seatbelts on busses when I was a kid, but then retracted the rule. Nobody wore them anyways.

Either way, not a good sign from the new government of Egypt to be wanting to prosecute the son of a top US official.

Individuals who comment based not on relevant information but on personal anecdotes and use those anecdotes to criticize the decisions of others are the ones who are pathetic.

God forbid a kid have to walk a couple of blocks. On my street, parents walk their kids to the bus stop that is not even a block away and deep in our residential area–and some of the kids are 8 or 9.

When I was in elementary school, I walked/rode a bike a mile.
