Re: Child safety in a prevost

I have been using RVs for over 40 years with my own kids and now Grand Kids......I pretty much do like Dennis says-----for one thing you would never get anywhere with kids if they were always strapped in......So make it acceptable and comfortable to YOU. For one thing if you are a prudent, safe, driver what are the chances of having an incident???????? Yes, this post has zero to do with tires. The bus is like new and well maintained. Totally irrelevant. Thanks for the responses. We are obviously using common sense with how this is approached. I personally feel a child is safer in a prevost or motorhome than in a car due to the size factor. You can't not use your motorhome just because you have a child in a car seat. RV's are used with family everyday, so I know something can be done with a car seat. My question was, what is the best approach as we haven't used it with our child yet. Plain and simple.490Views0likes0CommentsRe: Child safety in a prevost

The front seats in your coach were not designed for a child safety seat. As far as doing the things you ask in a moving RV, most of us just use common sense. Legally the laws vary from state to state and most do not cover Class A RV's. Even commercial buses allow people to get up and move around. There are times when it is not practical to be up and moving around, like in a city, twisting roads, mountain roads, inclement weather, etc. There are other times when on a nice straight interstate highway, most of us will allow some movement to use the rest room, grab something to eat or drink. To move around for any length of time to play with a child, that may be pushing your luck. Again, just use common sense and think about what could go wrong. You are the parents and part of your job is to take care of your children who do not have the knowledge that you have. Problem is, there are no captains seats. There's a bench seat against the wall and the dinette seats. We will be taking a look to see if there are seat belts in the dinette seats as I just read that's the best place to put a car seat. Seems confusing to me how this all needs to be done since the seats are not like a car. I know thousands of people travel in RV's with children so something can be done. Just trying to figure out how.370Views0likes0CommentsChild safety in a prevost
We have a prevost as well as a newborn baby. We are wanting to take a trip to visit family in the next couple of months and I am clueless about child safety in a motor home. Could anyone shed some light? It seems nearly impossible to attach a car seat in the prevost.. What do people do? Is it legal to feed, change, play with your child while you are going down the road? I'm assuming the safety rules are quite different in a motorhome verses traditional car travel. We are clueless about this. We don't use the prevost often, but feel it would be the perfect way to travel with a young child as it would be a home on wheels while we're away. Any advice?? Thanks.7.4KViews0likes31CommentsChild safety in a prevost
