Child Restraint Policy

*It is important to note that in the SVC, MHB and MHA units there is only 1 fixed tether anchor, so while it might be possible to house more than 1 child/infant seat, only 1 can be fixed to the tether anchor. The other will need to be attached solely by the lap belt.

Please remember …• When reserving the RV, you can request the rental of a child or a booster seat (for a fee). We do not provide rear facing infant seats for rental. • Guests are responsible for fitting the child/booster seat in the RV.• It is important that you specify which type of child seat you require at time of booking. We strongly recomend that you pre-book your child seat(s) as availability is limited.• If you are making use of our complimentary airport/airport hotel pick up, please also request the appropriate child/booster seat(s) for the transfer. This can be done on the evening before or the morning of pick up.

We are happy to provide the following information on Child Restraint Guidelines for CanaDream RV’s.

Child seat regulations for driving cars vary by province in Canada. CanaDream’s guidelines are based on the most restrictive provincial policies. In Canada there are no regulations for having child seats in taxi or coach services. There are also no specific regulations in Canada requiring additional fixed points specific to child seats in RV’s. Nor is there specific legislation dealing with the use of child seats in motorhomes. CanaDream RV’s are fitted with safety airbag systems in the front seats of each unit which makes front seats unsuitable for children under the age of 13.

In the chart below you will see 3 different types of child seats: Infant, Child and Booster (for the appropriate age/height/weight of child) alongside this, is the number of each type of seat which our units can accommodate.

# of child seats possible by vehicle type

Securing your child seat Once a child seat is turned forward-facing, it can be held in place with both a fixed tether anchor and the lap belt, as shown in the image below.

MHA/MHB/SVC We are able to guarantee 1 fixed tether anchor in each of our MHA/MHB/SVC units. The green dot represents where the tether anchor is located. While it is possible to house a combination of 3 child seats around the dinette, only 1 can be fixed to the tether anchor. The others will need to be attached solely by the lap belt.

DVC The DVC has no fixed tether anchors. The rear bench can accomodate 2 child seats. The seats can be secured with the 3-point harness seat belts.

TCA The Truck Camper has a row of 3 seats in the rear of the truck with regualr 3-point harness seat belts, each with their own tether anchor. The truck can accommodate 3 child seats of any type.

While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this information, CanaDream is not responsible for any errors or omissions contained on this page.
