Many states REQUIRE children to be properly restrained when travelling, Now there is much discussion on this in motor homes.. My Class A has 4 seat belts, two are in the front facing captain's chairs and 2 in the side facing couch (Bench seat) where I'm sitting now.

personal opinion: What about a side impact crash? Of course they are designed (Well good ones are designed) for side impact.
I can move, safely, around a moving vehicle, provided nothing of an emergency nature happens. Lots and lots of training to do that (All at low speed, I was a farm boy after all).
But most people.. Not without handrails to hold on to.. I would not want kids moving about in the motor home Heck, Even I prefer to have hand rails (Say if I am riding a city bus and moving to my seat as the driver pulls away from the bus stop).. City buses are free where I am at by the way.
I would not want kids loose in the RV when in motion. Or anyone else less seriously needed.
