Our grandkids travel with us for their summer vacation. Seat belts are mandatory if you're in the front seat, otherwise they're optional. That said, it's up to me as the driver to determine if they should be belted in when underway. Road conditions and traffic help in that determination. Otherwise they're free to roam, use the bathroom, watch TV or fix a snack.
For the overprotective bunch.... how many kids are belted in while riding the SCHOOL BUS...:h....City Bus..:h.....Tour Bus...:h....If you don't know, the answer is ZERO.....Dennis
The difference is those vehicles have a structural integrity that will survive crashes and protect its occupants. The interior components, in those vehicles, have been designed to protect occupants and minimize injuries in a collision. I doubt the refrigerator door flying open in a crash and an occupant being flung into it have been tested and designed to minimize injuries. Your motorhome and all others as well will crumble like shredded wheat if it collides with something and especially if it rolls over. If you ever saw a RV after a crash, you would rethink your strategy.
