A sidebenefit, they point out, is those seats belts help keep children in theirseats, away from the bus driver.Opponents of seat belt installation suggestthat children are already well protected by the school buses that adhere to theNation Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) safety requirements setin 1977. They also believe that many children won′t wear seat belts anyway andthat may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.A new Research Council report on school bussafety suggests that there are alternate safety devices and procedures that maybe more effective and less expensive.
