Every parent knows that taking a trip with multiple kids in the backseat can often lead to chaos. The classic phrase, “I will turn this car around!” is a testament to the lengths parents will go to in an attempt to maintain peace. For one resourceful dad of triplets, however, it meant getting a bit creative.
Jake Miller was tired of the constant disputes, shoving, and general mayhem from his three kids strapped into their car seats. In a stroke of brilliance, he came up with a straightforward yet effective solution that would make any parent proud: he built dividers between them.
While these makeshift barriers might not be fortress-like, and likely came out of Jake’s own pocket rather than any external funding, the satisfied grin on his face and the compliments from a drive-thru attendant who deemed it “ingenious” indicate it’s working wonders.
As a parent of two, I can relate to the challenges of car rides, even with just one child who can articulate their frustrations. Sometimes, I’ve even fantasized about upgrading to a limousine just to raise that privacy barrier and enjoy a moment of peace—let’s be honest, the minibar would be a bonus too!
Navigating life with children can be tough. I can only imagine the chaos of having three siblings of the same age battling for supremacy in the confined space of a car. Kudos to this dad for his clever fix to what is evidently an ongoing issue. I can’t help but wonder how long it will be before one of those kids devises a plan to escape those barriers!
