- 3 mo old requires a rear facing seat. Not sideways like the sofa, or forward like the co pilot chair. The only feasible place I would suspect would be a dinette, lap belted in the harness of the seat and facing backward. The problem I see with this is the seat angle being 90 degrees. You may want to check local law enforecement. Often they have folks that help with proper child seat installation. Maybe you could use the co-pilot seat if it swivelled to face the rear. Or if will attach facing rear with the seat in the normal position like a car.
- Glad we did the baby transport in the 70's. No problem.
- We used the couch.
- I used the front seat as the child seats are designed to be effective with seat orientated that direction. Make sure to provide protection from the sun rays which are plentiful in the front of the coach.
- Rear-facing child seat position is required for a baby that young.
Frankly, since the only true passenger-protected area in a Class A is the cockpit and you want the baby to be as safe as possible, the baby's seat should occupy the copilot position. Airbags off if possible, but not so critical with a rear facing child seat. - I used the front seat. It is the only one that faces the right way and there is no airbag.
