Lap & shoulder (3-point) seat belts are best for school buses. They are like the ones that you find on most passenger vehicles. Compartmentalization (high-padded seat backs) is good for those students that aren't belted in, but the addition of lap & shoulder seat belts helps limit excursion and flailing. It also better protects students in side impacts and rollovers.

Why don't school buses have seat belts for the children?
School buses do not have seat belts because of liability laws. If they put them in, then someone would be liable to ensure that they were fastened. No one is willing to face the lawsuits, so we prefer our children to be unsafe. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration argues that seat belts aren't the most effective way to protect passengers on school buses. Instead the big yellow beasts employ something called "compartmentalization." Think back to your days on the good ol' school bus. Remember how those rigid green seats were wedged closer together than on even the cheapest no-frills airline? That's compartmentalization in action. Sitting in "strong, closely-spaced seats that have energy-absorbing high seat backs," passengers are effectively protected from crashes. Of course, the method can't prevent all injuries, but the NHTSA argues it's the best possible solution. Several studies have shown seat belts would provide "little, if any, added protection." School districts are permitted to add seat belts to buses, but they also must make sure the seat belts are used properly. And as anyone who's ever ridden on a bus full of elementary school children knows, that's no easy task. Even so, plenty of folks feel seat belts on school buses should be mandatory. The National Coalition for School Bus Safety believes compartmentalization doesn't protect against "rear-end, lateral and rollover collisions." And they contend that seat belts are affordable, even for cash-strapped school districts.

How much is the best price for a school bus?
It seems that many used school buses are in the range of $3000-$7000. I can't possibly know every school bus on the market, or what condition they are in, but it seems like buying used is the best idea, since new school buses are anywhere from $10,000-$50,000. But it is your call, I guess. Good luck in your bus hunting.
