Travel safely with kids
It´s hard for a bus driver to notice little child from the mirrors inside the bus. Therefore its safest to quide children out of the bus before adults so that busdriver won´t shut the door too early.
With a baby carriage you must take care that carriage won´t be able to move or fall during bus travel. Safest way to exit bus with baby carriage is to walk backwards out of the bus and pull the carriage after you becouse that prevents those to fall.
