Kids can get thrown about on a bus just as much as the rest of us, if not more. I know the rules for kids in a car is that they are supposed to be in a car seat until they are 100 lbs...which always makes me laugh because I know a couple of 16 year old's who are only 100 lbs!!<br /><br />So...I guess my answer would be it depends on how big the kid is, and how many other people around him would be thrown around less by getting up...i.e. maybe the kid's mom or the guy across the aisle should get up for the older person.Coasting Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298428840591759641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216419.post-58684726871270285952009-05-12T13:52:00.000-04:002009-05-12T13:52:00.000-04:00I ride the bus every day and it irritates me to no...I ride the bus every day and it irritates me to no end that people don't give up their seats especially for really old people who are barely hanging on as the bus tosses them around while some 9-year old sits there ignoring them. (phew, run on sentence!) This makes me curious. At what age do you think kids should be giving up their seats for other people?Two Chicks Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927933503537714693noreply@blogger.com
