#vanlife #vanlifewithkids #lifeontheroad
Lots of closed minds in the comments. These children are having incredible experiences and will know when they grow up that happiness does not require lots of things or space.
Would be funny if someone asked your kids about there life and they say “I sleep on the bathtub and my sister sleeps on the toilet”.
I love that you get a nice bed but the kids get a mat and the baby sleeps in the car seat in the front where the whole world can see, great job 👍
Sleeping on top a toilet yum what a treat!!!
Let it sink in. That child sleeps on top of a friggin' toilet.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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
I love this setup! Thank you for sharing!
My only problem is the baby being so far on the other side of the Curtain. Other than that I love this van
well and the other major problem is that the kids are sleeping on some mat while their parents get some huge bed
@@suckitupbuttercup24 oh I see
@@venturacogrown6140 Yea cause kids hate that so much!
Kids literally don't care where they sleep. Get real. My kids would rather sleep on the kitchen floor than their own beds.
These kids are having a great time! It's not like it's forever!
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.
Amazing. Takes organization, creativity and planning but very cool!
Love the toddler bed idea
Ummm no, nursery is fine during the day but at night I would seriously consider that a risk! I would b so scared if her being up front by herself! I hope you find another spot soon or cosleep with her!
If they had dogs a dog could sleep with her for some caution.
Yeah I don’t understand why they don’t have her sleep in the bed with them.
My thoughts exactly! Even in day time I’d think that was the hottest spot. They definitely can rearrange this better.
Agree 100%
Co-sleeping is definitely not okay. I’m sure if the parents knows best
you make your children sleep on top of toilets and car seats? full time???
Really......what kind of question is that.
I love watching it!!!my dream set up
Bunks. Use the space above. How long are your kids going to fit on tiny seats? Certainly brilliant if just for holidays great! 😊 if living in there... no. I don't know if you guys are doing that or no, so not dig.
Wow wow wow that's awesome, I love the tub , everything looks great 👍👍💯👍👍
Wonderful!! Thank you. Your kids are so cute!!!
I love the design except for the Baby being alone up the front, the little tub is genius, Safe and happy travels.
The girl has to sleep on the literal toilet with zero leg space omds
So basically one of your child sleeps on a toilet but just covered
Must be from 🇺🇸 to ask this ?
And? It’s not full of poop… it’s covered and had a mattress.
@@laurenastudillo3216knew it, glad it bothered you.
Love how you both get a big bed but your children get a 2 inch mat and your baby gets a basket that benefits safely in one front seat
And one of them sleeps above where you store where you expel fecal matter from your body
How says they store it there?
Maybe it's just for holidays 🤔
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.
It’s really terrible just no and the toilet under the bed waaaaa??? The baby In the front seat? Waaaaa?
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.
Really good idea, I was thinking the same thing
I have 3 kids, and keep doubting myself.. thank you for this.
This is so cool! I've been drawing out what i envision for weeks now and watching all the videos. My only negative is baby facing forward, babys skulls are so heavey and not fused to tgeir spibe until atleast 3 years old, front facing in a crash can easily cause internal decapitation with babies and toddlers. Horrible i know but sharing incase you are unaware ❤
Hey what wheelbase/length is this?!?! We have kids, love love LOVE this design and are trying to decide on a length!
Amazing you guys have done brilliant their lucky kids hope for my 3 kids i can give them the same wonderful life kne day !!
Lol
Oh please tell me you’re joking 💀
Get your kids real beds
Thats great! I love the setup and thats totally doable for me, but where to do park?
Cool!
Beautiful family van hope you continue to enjoy your ventures 😍 Why’s baby sleeping all on her lonesome in the front compartment? Surly a drop down small bunk, over your bed, would be better, so you can hear her at night and she’s safe and warm with the rest of her family 🥰
My favorite until now, AMAZING😊👌🤟
That is amazing. Toilet and tub.. for the kids?
I'm considering van life with my two kids.
Scarlet and Seth 60 second tour has a layout best to suit this family
Where the bathroom is at the back of the van and the kitchen is also at the very back of the van
Living room is able to convert to the bed
But maybe rethink your design they going to outgrow those spaces fast.
And
The baby bed rethink also
Great family!
Hell yeah you guys made it work with three kids! I have three and we were thinking of similar ideas as you guys did. Now how to make the bed space once they are bigger ?!!🤣😵💫🤔
Please do not do this with your kids. The lack of their own space is definitely not fun for them and could even be damaging
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.
@@Mrs.J.D.B yeah I agree, I see parents do this van life when their child is like 14. I think that’s where it comes bad. Parents should just do it when their child is attached to their parents, and stop when their child wants their own space.
Wow, nice…we are also 5 😅 where are you from?
Love the layout. Maybe the 3 seater can be converted into a 🛏️ at night. 💗
Is this legal?
What make is this van,need the info soon
How do you use the toilet in the middle of the night if your kid is sleeping on top of it?
Fairy is really beautiful. I think what really lets you down as the kids bedrooms their beds literally literally I’m not very good and I think it’s something that you need to improve on.
call CPS
I love it!
Don't you find it unsanitary to have the toilet under your baby's bed? Other than that I love it!
Haha yeah, I could see how it might seem kinda nast, but we keep the area clean and dispose of our…bodily waste (#1 and #2) as soon as we’re done. Its never really left in there.
very creative and nice!
Can you share the information about the design and van ? Thank you
y is the babys bed on top of the toliet
I would dare that for a week to two vacation (if it allows me to go somewhere I couldn’t afford otherwise) but those are not good living conditions for children in the long run.
Hello family! Could you tell me what brand are the children's sleeping bags? thank you so much!!
Sure! We got them from Amazon. I’ll share the link: JumpOff Jo a.co/d/11vtx4x
This has no space and u gonna need space cus when u don't want the kids to be outside then the kids can play inside
What are the little trays they use while driving?
This is insane
What kind of can do you have? The make and model, high roof or low?
Shocked that youd put the baby in the front like that it seems very unsafe and won't last long. Have a fold down bunk above one of the other kids? Also the toilet right next to the sink really grosses me out.
Your kid sleeps on top of the toilet?!? Honey no….. 😢
😅it’s so crazy right when I said that ya comment popped up I agree she had me till I seen the damn toilet under where her kids sleep 😮😢
I saw that and I thought, ok I’ll just clean it each time. She lost me when she said the baby sleeps in the front seat
We will have 4 kids! I plan to cosleep with a portable bassinet on the bed with me! 🥰🥰
I don't think I would let my child sleep directly above where you all poo... bit of a design flaw, other than that, it looks lovely! Maybe a bus when they get older 😆
I have similar Van like you guys. Can you show me the picture of back roof top AC vent ?
No privacy tho, weird thought: if nico showers and the girl is in the van, she gonna get a look. If u know what i mean
Yeah, we know what you mean and at that age that’s really not a big deal.
Why not move the carseats to the front and put baby's bassinet there? That way she wouldn't be in the frontseat 😢
Love your channel ❤️ 👍
Aw! Thank you! ❤️
I think l heard her say "chonies" 😂🎉❤🎉😂❤🎉😂❤
Hahaha yup! 🤭
Great family van build. For car seats, look into diono brand, they are super slim for fitting multiple across. I eoukd love to see the baby moved to the middle of the van floor at night but to each their own.
What about privacy?
This is cool! Did you make those sleeping bags yourself or buy them somewhere? Those look really neat and I’ve never seen any like that kind.
A toilet under the child’s bed kinda sounds gross and poor baby all alone at front while sleeping and what if the children grow to big for the beds
Frrr
I agree, very disgusting. I would never want to sleep on top of a toilet, therefore I would never make my babies sleep there
ideal for family with babies, you need a long BUS homie.
Great van, but please don’t tell me you leave the baby in the front of the van alone all night? 👀 I have a 2 year old and she’d be in the bed with me or in a bunk built across the feet above the adult bed with a guard rail of course…maybe this might be a better solution for you guys. Especially as baby has almost outgrown that basket.
I love this! Im curious on how you plan to make this work as the baby gets older and the other two kids as well sleeping space wise
Go bigger and continue growing 🤗
just don’t live in a van if you don’t have space for your kids to sleep
It must suck to sleep on top of the toilet
I can see a couple, even with 1 child, being able to stay sane living like this. But man, you got me messed up if tou rhink im trying to raise 3 children in a van like this. No. When it rai s all day, and theyre sitting inside on top of each other, how do you stay sane?? I cannot imagine the stress of three annoyed kids all day and trying to keep organized with three kids underfoot. Just nuh~uh. No thankee. 😮😮
Isn't it great how the parents always get a great bed, then the children sleep above the toilet, does he get woke up if someone needs it through the night.
Some parents are so selfish it's unbelievable, but WHY worry about there children as long as the parents are happy. Where do the girls sleep. Let me guess, one sleeps in the tub the other with there parents.
i do not think the baby actually sleeps there
I love the idea of doing life on the road with children but this looks a bit cramped
Really impressive you manage to keep it so minimal!
They have fricking bathtub in there!
Poor kid has to sleep on top of a toilet not to mention the baby has more privacy
Туалет и ванна странно расположены, детей конечно можно искупать, а как быть взрослым? Детей выставлять на улицу, пока принимаешь душ или решил сходить в туалет? Очень странное решение 🤷♀️
AWESOME
Lots of critical comments on here but I was homeless with my son for a year. If I had anything like this it would have been amazing. The only question that pops in my head is “how did you have another bubba with zero privacy. Lol. Not a criticism- it was just the only thing that came to me
Yaak no clean
Can you sell this van to me after? It's perfect for my family as well.
81k views versus 1k likes is really telling LMAO, you’re abusing your kids
I LOVE this! We might do this someday but I’m nervous with kids 🤪 we can barely keep our house clean lol
I’m a baby sleep consultant. These people are cracking me up with not putting your child right next to you. Cosleeping can be safe but putting her in her own bassinet follows the aap guidelines. I’m sure these same people saying the wouldn’t put their kid in a different part of the van put their child in their own bedroom 😅
You guys are giving your children such a beautiful life ❤️
Please don't. This is not a stable situation for kids and they will grow to resent you. Kids need consistency. They need friends and to be at school. I know people who grew up and turned to drugs and alcohol because they constantly moved around when they were kids and it affected them for the rest of their lives. Always being the new kid can be damaging.
@@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.
Imagine growing up sleeping over a toilet?
Eww no privacy!
Maybe for you...but this is their family...🤷
Dam that family has no privacy
I know imagine walking through your home to see family members lounging around naked right infront of your eyes taking a dump
I think it's their business..
This is just plain child abuse
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
☝👍👏👏👏👏
Child abuse.
Cute Family!
Do they live in this van? If so what about when the kids get older..
What about when the kids get bigger
