Motorhome hire with child seats: what fits, company by company

In Australia, young children must travel in an approved child restraint. That makes the number of seats a vehicle takes one of the first things to check, before price.

Short answer: the companies that publish a limit allow two child seats per vehicle at most (Star RV, Cruisin' and Apollo). Seats only go in forward-facing rear seats with anchor points, and some smaller vans take none. With three children who need seats, ask before you book.

What this means for your family

  • One or two children in seats: look at 4- and 6-berth motorhomes and confirm the exact model has the anchor points. Our 6-berth comparison lists published seat space per vehicle.
  • Three or more: none of the companies that publish a limit allows more than two. Ask the company directly, or consider two vehicles.
  • A baby under six months: Cruisin' doesn't hire baby seats for that age, and Travellers Autobarn fits baby seats only in two vehicles. You may need to bring your own restraint that meets AS/NZS 1754.
  • You fit the seat. At Star RV, Cruisin' and Apollo, you fit the child seats yourself.
