We have the 2 year old in the car seat on the couch and the 4 year old buckled up in the dinette. Hate to say we never wore car seats in my grandparents class c's over the years. First couple didn't even have any. I guess that's went the way of riding in the back of a truck.

Or playing in the back of the station wagon.

Our dinette has LATCH tether points (but not the anchors at the seat level) on the floor behind it, forward facing position. Our DS is 9 so naturally we don't use them at this point, but I noticed them as a mom.

My 3 year old rides up front next to me with the airbag turned off. Works well he can see good and is easy to keep occupied

Since passenger protection ends at the cockpit in RV's, the copilot's seat is the safest position for a child seat.

Do remember to turn the air bag off if present.

There have been many threads regarding child seating over the years. To the best of my knowledge no organization has ever studied the use of child/infant seats in RVs. When traveling with our grandchildren we secured an infant seat, now a child seat, on the coach with the seatbelts. It keeps the children in place and comfortable but it is sideways. As for the safety of the child, we travel in a 28,000 lb MH and I keep my speed below 60mph...best for safety, comfort and fuel consumption. Except in the most extreme situations I consider my travel safe.
Happy Trails, and enjoy RVing.

We just took our two grandchildren on a camping trip. We had no problem securing their two car seats in our rv.
