Safety Seats
Child safety seats, though not required, are more than welcome on RedCoach vehicles. We understand that your child’s safety is paramount. Thus, before buying a ticket, please ensure that the child seat is approved for use in a motor vehicle and is used in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines. It is your responsibility to attach the child safety seat properly and to ensure that the lap and/or shoulder belt is working properly and attached securely.

Some Suggestions
It will take a little while for any child to get used to traveling, especially when traveling for long distances in unfamiliar places. Talk to your child about the trip and make him or her excited. Make sure you are all well-rested on the day of travel —it will make the trip more enjoyable. Pack the following in your carry on so you are better prepared for little surprises:
- Your child’s safety blanket
- Thick socks so they can take their shoes off and be more comfortable
- Pack snacks in case he or she gets hungry
- Take enough diapers and baby wipes
- Spare clothing for yourself and your child (accidents can happen)
- Any important medication
