Hi there, I'm a newbie to motorhoming and in need of some advice.
Parents are about to buy a motorhome and are willing to get isofix points fitted so that we can use the van and take our children on holiday in their car seats.
They are buying a 4 berth with a sofa/double bed in the middle of the van (door to the van is at the end). Therefore the seats face inwards.
We have a 4 year old who has just gone up to an iso-fixed highback booster which is secured with a seatbelt (maxi cosi rodifix air protect) and a baby who is in an isofix base, secured without a seatbelt (Maxi cosi cabriofix on a family fix base).
Assuming we/they fit the isofix points and seatbelts where necessary (my father works with vehicles and thinks retrofitting should be fine), is it legal for children to be inward facing/side travelling in this way?
Are there any problems we haven't foreseen? Would an end lounge have been better?
I would be really grateful for any advice or experience you may be able to share with us. Thanks in advance.
