The Ultimate Guide to Traveling in an RV and Child Safety

 

Traveling in an RV with your family is a terrific way to spend quality time together. You get to experience the beautiful outdoors along with everything our country has to offer!

 

There’s no need for

  1. Incessant packing and unpacking
  2. Hotel transfers…
  3. And cramming everyone into tiny spaces for extended periods…

Best of all, you create an environment where everyone feels at home!

That said, it’s crucial to keep the safety of your children in mind before you begin your adventures together.

 Here are Important Things to Look Out for When Traveling with Children

 Choose a Safe RV

The Child Passenger Safety Technicians and Instructors (CPSTs) recommend that families choose a non-motorized/tow-able RV (fifth-wheel, trailer, tent trailer, truck camper) when traveling with children.

These are either towed by a passenger vehicle or transported on a pick-up truck.

 

It allows your kids to travel along with you in a passenger vehicle that complies with Federal occupant safety regulations. Plus, you can efficiently set up child restraint devices without worry.

 

If you decide to use a motorized RV (Class A, B, or C), it’s important to know that they’re not required to have rear occupant crash testing. Nor do they meet federal seat belt standards for rear seating.
