Car seats on the Disney buses?

Here's something I just thought of.....

Do we need to have some sort of a safety car seat for our 14 month old son to take on the Disney buses? I don't remember ever seeing anyone with one, and I can't even remember if there are seat belts on the buses (you would think I would have noticed )!!!!

Also, do we need one for the Magical Express buses?

We weren't going to bring one on the plane (so much cheaper to just hold him!)....but maybe we should?!

Anyone know?

Re: Car seats on the Disney buses?

I have never, ever, seen a car seat on any of the buses. I am not sure if they would even allow it. Most babys just have their own seats or sit on laps. I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: Car seats on the Disney buses?

That's what I was thinking, but as I was looking at the allears toddler section they had this big thing about how it was required to have a car seat in any moving vehicle.

Just thought I'd check with the experts!! Thanks guys!!

Re: Car seats on the Disney buses?

You can't put car seats on ME or the Disney busses. I think they will be safe in your lap. (I got totally flamed on another site for saying that! )

Re: Car seats on the Disney buses?

there are no belts on the seats, and no anchors to attach the seat to.

Re: Car seats on the Disney buses?

I can see wanting one on the ME bus to the resort, but don't see the big deal in not having one on the resort bus. Can't believe you got flamed for saying that kim....want me to smack someone? LOLOL

Re: Car seats on the Disney buses?

Last year we were on ME and the driver said something like sit back and relax unless you have an emergency. So the little girl behind me raises her hand, her mom tries to shush her and the girl replies "this is an emergency, there are no seat belts"
