The safest seat in a school bus is generally in the middle, in an aisle seat on the right hand side, between the tires. It's safer if there's a head-on, side and rear-end collision. It is also less bumpy and jarring to the body.

The center. Think of a bus as a see-saw. the ends, where the wheels are, go up and down over bumps. The middle less so, but not as little as the see-saw.
To avoid swaying, choose a seat close to the centre of gravity of the bus, midway between the front and back wheels. As the bus turns a corner, this point will travel in a smooth circle.
Adjust your headrest so that it is supporting the middle of the back of your head. Keep your shoulders straight as much as possible, and try to avoid hunching forward. While sitting, make sure that both of your feet are resting on the footrest or on the floor in front of you.
Originally Answered: Why does the back side of the bus bump more than the front seats? Just as the edge of a fan moves faster and travels a longer distance, just for the reason that it is far away from the Center. The same applys here. The rear end is far away from the point of movement i.e, the tyres.
Buses (and large trucks) are designed to carry a lot of weight on their axles, which effectively means that they need to have very stiff springs in their suspension. This makes for a very bouncy, harsh, uncomfortable ride, which can be fatiguing for a driver who has to deal with it all day long.
Your sense of smell is heightened when you are nauseous, which will make engine fumes and food smells even worse. Stay away from the back of the bus on the bottom deck and from anyone with a takeaway. Priority seats on the bottom deck are best. Second best is the top deck, three rows from the front, on the aisle seat.
If the bus ride is bumpy is due to the air suspension and the axle working together with the weight. A school bus is most likely to be bouncy due to the air suspension working as well the axle.
The middleSpecifically, you should try to avoid the front and rear sections of the bus. Sitting in the middle gives you more protection during all types of crashes, including head-on and rear-end collisions. As far as the middle of the bus goes, your best bet is to sit in a row between the bus's tires.
Choose a seat toward the middle of the busThe back of the bus is where you'll feel the most bumps, and is also where the onboard restroom may be, so it can be a high-traffic area on long-distance bus rides. If you can't find a seat near the middle of the bus, near the front is your next best choice.
Seat foam thickness, its shape, cushion width & seat height will play a vital role in comfort. Fatigue is the common cause due to uncomfortable seating and it is due to only one type of seat available in school buses to accommodate different height children.
Weak springs (leaf or coil) or a lack of anti-sway bars can contribute to excessive sway, and on air bag-equipped chassis, it can be the very act of the air entering/exiting the bags.
Try and find a seat or a bench and take five minutes to get some air, away from others if possible. Take deep breaths and use some breathing techniques to regulate your breathing. Grounding techniques such as the 54321 method can also help, repeating as many times as needed.
The safest seat in a school bus is generally in the middle, in an aisle seat on the right hand side, between the tires. It's safer if there's a head-on, side and rear-end collision. It is also less bumpy and jarring to the body. In addition, studies show that children are often injured approaching or leaving the bus.
Sit in the front of a car or bus. Choose a window seat on flights and trains. If possible, try lying down, shutting your eyes, sleeping, or looking at the horizon.
