From what I've read MHs aren't nearly as safe as virtually all cars. Lack of air bags and house frames that won't support much weight. When was the last time you saw a crash test performed on a MH? What is any seat in a slide out anchored to?
Aren't car seats for children designed to be facing forward or backwards? What does this suggest for one facing sideways on a couch or strapped in using sideways seat belts?
While I'd guess that a safer installed third seat would be best in a crash how in the world could that be verified?
You might be safer in a heavier MH collision with a car.
You might be safer in a truck or van but I'm not sure they have the same safety requirements as a car.
Truthfully back in the day we didn't require our kids to use seat belts in our class C. We are all better informed today and I applaud your concern for your child.
