Child safety in a prevost

We have a prevost as well as a newborn baby? It seems nearly impossible to attach a car seat in the prevost.. What do people do?

Unfortunately, the presence of a baby in a Prevost is rarely seen around here, or anywhere.

I would keep the baby strapped in while moving. You never know when there is something that requires braking. Rest stops are frequent enough and honestly, its better to stop every hour and a half for everyone to stretch their legs.

I would also consider in the calculus of where to put the baby seat making sure that there is nothing that is likely to go flying out of a cabinet in a hard stop. So right by the kitchen cabinets would not be a good place.

It will make traveling easier... don't have to wake baby to go to bathroom or stop and eat... My DD and I talked about this very thing, securing a car seat in MH. She stated dinette with benches would be first choice, so child could stay rear facing, especially for a very young baby. Later, where ever car seat can be secured best. Don't know about Prevost, but side mounted sofa's in many MH's have seatbelts.

If you need to take baby out of seat to change or feed, I would only do it during low traffic situations and would really suggest stopping somewhere. You can always pull into a rest area, feed and change and be back on the road in just a few minutes. Great options when the baby becomes mobile, you can let them out into the space you know is clean, when you stop along the road. No crawling or toddling on unknown nasty surfaces.
