I am beginning research for my next RV which if planned to be a Class A, and have talked with my DD about seats for my DGD, so she can travel with me some. DD keeps up with the latest research and laws for seatbelts and felt like the safest place would be on a front facing dinette bench in an carseat/booster seat facing forward. Laws keep changing and getting stricter but I think her comments on safety are to be considered.
That being said, remember by traveling in a MH, you are making stops much easier and quicker. When DD travels without another adult, just her, the baby and the dog, she says a "simple potty stop" takes nearly an hour. Feeding the baby makes the stop take longer. In MH, a potty break could occur in just a very few minutes, because you don't have to take everyone out of vehicle, just make a quick run to the back. You also can feed your kids when they are hungry without getting out of MH, even if you do stop to prepare them something.
OP.. think about how much easier a potty break would be with your 2 4 year olds.. no running across parking lots, waiting in line at stop, and trying to keep up with them and no worry about them getting into someone else's germs. (no I am not a germ-phobic, but keeping little ones from touching everything in a public restroom can be a challenge)
