    Baby is prob fine in the front, but only if they completely blacked out all of the windows. I think psychologically it seems as if the baby is far away, but its a tiny van, she just several feet away. But wow, kudos for pulling off van life with kids. I don't think I could ever do it full time.

      When vehicles are broken in to the point of entry tends to be the front compartment/ main drivers cabin. Also most insulation in vans that are converted, tends to be in the living quarters, so they’re nice and snug in the back… whilst she is not in the insulated part of the house/van

    Why yall worried about the baby up front? In a traditional house most US families put their baby in an entirely different room on the other side of the HOUSE, sometimes on the top floor of a two story house while the parents are all the way on the bottom floor. A baby in a van a few feet away seems fine to me. Although personally I would just cosleep with a baby that little. Bassinet for naps.

      Right now I’m watching this video as an option for our kids and us because we are about to be homeless and no one will hire us despite having a clean record and lots of previous work experience, great references and positive mindset/strong work ethic. Maybe don’t go around judging because you don’t even know if this was a choice or if they’re just making the best of what they’ve got. We were not broke when we decided to have kids, that’s why we had two, but life threw us a curveball and if this were to be our only option I would prefer it to the streets.

    You guys are definitely making it work with three kids. I wouldn’t suggest the baby in the front for safety purposes but instead having a fold up bunk above your sons bed. He can have the top bunk middle daughter on the bottom and baby can be across where daughter slept. That way all kids are close by.

      Most people aren't doing this permanently with their kids. I really don't think that traveling around and showing your kids the world is damaging. Sure, if it's for their entire childhood, but I have never heard of anyone doing that. Most people do this for up to a few years at most. I have 2 little kids and they want to be with my husband and I 24/7. They don't want their own space yet, they just want to be with us. And they fact that they do want to be with us so much makes us a very close knit family, which many people can't say for themselves. We aren't traveling or living the van life but we live in a pretty small house and all sleep in 1 bedroom, so I can definitely see us being perfectly fine living the van life for at least a short period in our lives, especially while our kids are little.

      @@natalieh.2671 my husband grew up on a bus with his parents and two sisters and that was the best part of his childhood. I think it very much depends on how you raise them. You can bring consistency to on the road life. I lived in the same house till I was 18 and I went to several different schools due to moving from private to public, trying online school and back to public school. I love change. Always have but this never drove me to drink or do drugs. I’d definitely look at your friends parents and their style of parenting before looking at where they lived. There are kids in huts that live a more joy filled life because their parents teach them gratitude. My point being, where you lay your head at night isn’t the problem.

    I don’t like that one, sleeping on the toilet and letting baby alone at the front is not ok and it won’t last long, kid grow fast and all this will be too small
