Drive the child in a passenger vehicle so they can be properly restrained and follow the RV (Class A, B or C's) .
This one has me shaking my head....someone will read this and secure their child in a seatbelt in their toad....:E......Dennis
I'd question their implication here. Is a smaller vehicle really safer? I don't disagree that if you roll your RV or drive it head on into a bridge pillar that you are in trouble. But how many RV accidents happen like that? I would argue that the vast majority of accidents involving RV's involve the RV impacting smaller cars and in the vast majority of those crashes the RV gets the better end of the deal. It's the very same concept as drivers of 3/4 ton trucks and Suburban's often come out way better in most accidents because they're usually running into something smaller than they are.
