Where to put a child seat in a C

[bukhrn]

I have a 29' Class C, with the normal side facing sofa, 3 seat belted positions, None with shoulder harness, and 2 belted positions at the dinette, which I don't think is safe, as her legs will be jammed into the table, I'm thinking of placing the child ( booster seat eligible in Va.)in the forward position on the sofa.
The only position with a shoulder strap, (beside the driver) is the front passenger seat, not legal for her to be in.
Question is, what's everyone else do?

Funnier yet are the coaches where there ARE seatbelts on the rearward facing dinette bench and has the sticker "This seat not for Occupancy while vehicle is in motion." So, why are the seatbelts there? "Hey kids, lunch is served. Buckle up!" LOL And yes, there ARE such rigs out there. 🙂

:B Mine had that sticker and I have seat belts in the rear facing dinette bench seats.

What is funnier yet is that my youngest Grand Daughter does buckle up when ever she sits there,to play or eat..........

You might check,mine has a steel bar across under the dinette at floor level that they are attached to. If it does you might be able to attach them there.

X2 on Baeling’s response.

Use the dinette, drop or remove the table!

my '07 Does have a passenger side air bag, and cannot be deactivated, easily, maybe by disassembling.

Put the child seat in the dinette, but drop or remove the table first. Non-infant child seats are designed to face forward, and removing the table eliminates the possibility of hitting it.

Check the law first. In Virgina, Title 46.2-1095, says:

"In the event the vehicle does not have a back seat, the child restraint device may be placed in the front passenger seat only if the vehicle is either not equipped with a passenger side airbag or the passenger side airbag has been deactivated".
