Do RVs have seat belts?
My husband and I were thinking about renting an RV for a week at the end of the month, but I need to ensure it’s safe with two small children. Do they have seat belts?

Safety with two small children is definitely a top priority. RVs do have seat belts, depending on what kind of RV it is. Class A, B, and C motorhomes are equipped with seat belts, while fifth wheels and trailers aren’t because they aren’t intended to have occupants in them while driving.
RV seat belt laws vary by state and are split into two categories: front seat only and the whole RV. In states with the front seat only law, front seat passengers are required to wear a seat belt, while others are not. In other states, as you may have guessed, all passengers in the RV must wear a seat belt.
The following states have a front seat only law:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- Connecticut
- Florida
- Hawaii
- Illinois
- Indiana
- Kansas
- Louisiana
- Maryland
- Michigan
- Minnesota
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- Nebraska
- New Jersey
- New York
- North Carolina
- North Dakota
- Ohio
- Oklahoma
- Pennsylvania
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Virginia
- West Virginia
- Wisconsin
For small children, a car seat can be used in an RV, as long as you secure it properly.
Safety should always be a top priority when in a moving vehicle—whatever vehicle that may be. But along with implementing proper safety practices, ensure you have a proper
