A car crash will affect an obsese 250lb bus driver much more than some 40lb little twerp.
Let’s say the bus was traveling at a rate of 60mph🇺🇸 and hit a brick wall, and all passengers uniformly come to a complete stop at precisely 1 second. The 5 year old weighing 40lbs🇺🇸 would experience an impact of around 109 pounds of force (109.40 lbf🇺🇸) whereas the bus driver weighing 250lbs🇺🇸 would experience 683.67 lbf🇺🇸.
I absolutely did NOT run the calculations in 🤮 🇪🇺 🤮 before converting to 😎🇺🇸😎.

High schoolers ride busses too. They’re a little bigger than 40lb twerps at that point.
But they’re objectively the worst kind of child, so meh.
I mean, on the other hand, a 5 year old is generally more fragile than an adult man.
Nah. They’re made ot of rubber. They’ll be fine. Anyway, even if they aren’t, it’s not like society invested too much in them yet.
Dude, fully grown men are objectively fragile.
Children are objectively small and squishy. Car accidents are one of the leading causes of death for children for a reason.
In fact, I think newborns shouldn’t need any restraints at all.
Toss em in the back of the truck on the drive back home from the hospital. They’ll be fine!
