I believe that at least once, or twice, we used our son's RR # on a car reservation. It didn't seem to matter that the renter's name was different and it created no liability issues.
if the parents are responsible, and can pay off the bills, etc, then there's no reason this would be a problem for the child's future credit...in fact it could help
