Child Restraints Guideline 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.
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. No child restraints are required for children over min. 140 cm (55 inches), OR over min. 26kg (60lb) OR 8 years of age (on average) PLEASE NOTE: All child restraints must comply with current Canadian standards and it is the responsibility of the Guest to fit them in the RV. We strongly recommend any child restraints pre-booked. While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this information, CanaDream is not responsible for any errors or omissions. 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. Responsibility If, for any reason beyond the company's control, the reserved vehicle is not available, CanaDream reserves the right to substitute a vehicle of equivalent value or offer a higher rated vehicle at no additional cost. Should a lower rated vehicle be substituted, the company's only responsibility is to refund the difference between the two vehicles. Although this is infrequent, accidents or mechanical repairs may force substitutions. *Terms and Conditions May Change Without NoticeTerms of booking on this website Information disclaimer The rates on this website are often heavily discounted.
