The vast majority of school buses have no seatbelts and none have airbags for the drivers.

On any given school day, more than 25 million kids ride a school bus, one of the safest vehicles on the road — with one exception: the vast majority of those buses have no seatbelts.Videos of accidents involving school buses show kids bouncing around like sneakers in a dryer, and it's not just the students who are in danger.

As a result, eight states have laws on the books requiring new school buses to have seat belts.
