I am renting an RV to vacation in Alberta and BC with 2 kids: 26 kg and 16kg. I have received mixed messages and am unclear if they require child/booster seats in the RV. Please advise me.

BC Child Restraint Rules
The BC child restraint rules are set out in Division 36 of the Motor Vehicle Act Regulations.
These are the exemptions from having to use a child restraint according to the BC rules:
Exemptions
36.09 This Division does not apply to the driver or operator
The closest you would come is to 36.09(a) if you were to rent the RV outside of Canada and then visit here with it. That would exempt you from BC's rules but would still require you to follow the rules (if any) in place where the RV is licensed.
I am not familiar with the Alberta rules, but I expect that you could get advice here:
