Hi I am intending to get eurail pass for 10 days for Xmas 

1.i understand I might need to book some seat and according to the eurail site. It direct us to oebtickets.

 

My quest is how to I link my eurail w the seat reservation. Or I just show the train master seperately my eurail pass on app and download seat pdf.

 

Also my child is only 10yo, may I know if the system will try to put us together. My worry is he might be seperate fr either of us.

 

2. Does the site oebtickets works for all cities train. We are doing a long trip for 10 cities. Like to settle once on a single site

 

3. My trip is Dec. Is it too early now to make seat reservation? Are the schedule stable to book

now?

 

TIA

1.) You just show the ticket and reservation separatly. 

Normally the reservation systems put reservations that are booked together next to each other.

2.) It depends on the countries you visit and the trains you want to reserve. If you are trying to book the reservations without paying fees on top of the reservation price you are most likely going to end up booking them from different sites. https://www.interrail.eu/en/book-reservations/how-do-i-book-seats lists some of the sites and was to book reservations. 

3.) Depends on the trains, some can only be reserved 3months in advance. But booking the reservations far in advance is a good idea. Especially if the rest of your journey does not allow any flexibility.
