there seems to be some questions as to the twins riding in their seats, even though I explained it in the video. Here's something copied direct from the manufacturer: "The Frontier ClickTight Harness-2-Booster Seat can be used in Harness Mode for children 2 years old and 25 lbs up to 90 lbs or in Booster Mode for children 40 lbs up to 120 lbs." 💜💜

I think it's great you still have them using a car-seat even at 12, I do the same with my kids and a childcare business we run whenever transporting other people's kids around. Too many parents seem to think outgrowing a car-seat is something to be done as soon as possible like some kind of right of passage or something when it's really just a pretty common sense thing to help keep your kids safe. As you pointed out even full grown adult race car drivers use a 5 point harness seat and there's nothing babyish about it. Perhaps it's usual for a guy to advocate for something like this but I've seen real car accidents out on the road up close in graphic detail and so I know what it can do. Once you see something like that it's much easier to advocate for. Further I really don't like to mention this and ruin anything for you but Consumer Reports actually did their own round of extensive car-seat testing and found that the the Frontier 90 click-tight seats completely failed their crash tests done with higher weight older child dummies in the seats. The harness itself will actually break loose in the shoulders an can cause an older child to become severely injured and even eject as a result. As such I discontinued using our Frontier 90 click-tight seat with any older kids over 50lbs or so for this very reason. Unfortunately there are not really any other decent options for older kids out on the mainstream market these days. In the past I used a Britax Regent car-seat which originally started out as a special needs car-seat designed by John Merritt. As someone who's been using various car-seats over the last 20 years or so this was one of the best car-seats ever made but unfortunately Britax no longer produces it and moved over into it's Frontier line. That's what led me to the Merritt Roosevelt car-seat which is essentially an updated and improved slightly larger version of the old Regent seat designed by the same engineer. I don't at all work for this company but have to sincerely say it is quite simply the best highest quality car-seat I've ever seen and used. All the kids we've had use it in our business absolutely love it and were even fighting over who's turn it was to use it, even older kids. It is sold as a "special needs" car-seat but does not look anything stereo-typically like something that is "special needs" and it can simply be bought with normal standard options. It's also on the rather expensive side but after owning one can attest that it's extremely high quality light-years ahead of any mainline consumer seats like the Frontier click-tight 90. I was so impressed with it I called and told the company they really ought to sell these seats to all kids and not just those with "special needs" because they are that good. I realize your boys are 12 now and so investing in something like that for them now might not last them too much longer but for your up and coming kids they might really enjoy and benefit from them after your 12 year old's would outgrow them. The seat has a 115lbs harnessed weight limit so kids can certainly use it for a very long time. I normally have my kids and those in our business use a car-seat up until they are just over 4 foot 9 inches but many wish to continue using it longer because it really is that comfortable. The cool thing is it's design actually sits at much lower profile in the vehicle seats than the Frontier 90 click tights do. SO it will not block one's rear view to the windows so much and yet is able to far more comfortably fit a larger kid. Anyhow....feel like I'm writing a book now. It's just cool to see someone else caring about car-seat safety as much as we do and so thought I'd pass on some potentially useful information for you. All the best to you and your family.

If the children in forward facing 5 point harnesses are not utilizing the top tether then they would be safer using the frontiers as boosters, they’re also outgrown the harness when their shoulders are above the top slot, Remember the rule is forward facing the harness is at or above, rear facing the rule is at or below. I’m excited to see you wanting them to be the safest they can be just know that at 12 they’re definitely not in danger moving to booster mode and also could be more injured by being in a harness that’s outgrown.

3/4 of your harnessed kids have 100% outgrown their seats at the current configurations. The 12 y/o twins harness straps are coming from below their shoulders, and their heads are well above the 1” threshold… at this age they would be benefiting more by 5 stepping out of a car seat and learning how to sit properly in a car without additional restraints other than a seatbelt, for when they go out with friends and the seats also likely have an age limit suggesting that they start boostering around 8-10 years old. If you’re not top tethering them as well you may be using the seats improper as most seats, and locations require the top tether to be used while forward facing harness The harnessed kid in the 2row drivers has outgrown their headrest… if it can be lifted then they can likely still stay in, but again, they would likely benefit from boostering at this age. Car seats can only keep a child so safe at this point there’s more risks then benefits having them harnessed - especially for long term development and maturity. These children should know at this age how to properly sit in a vehicle using just a seatbelt (and a booster for proper fit)

Forward facing its the top of the ears can’t pass the top of the seat only rear facing does the head have to be 1” below the top of the seat. My sons seat looked like it was coming from below but it was just the angle and strap pads. I do agree the one in the middle could be raised 1-2 notches and at least the one boy in the back could too but she did acknowledge the one boy needed it raised a bit. It is safest to max out rear facing, forward facing, and booster mode before moving to the next step. If they are within height and weight ranges for harnessed mode that is safer than booster mode. Technically even adults would be safer in harnesses.

While you state the twins are within the height and weight limits of the Frontier, I believe, from the video, they have outgrown the harness by seated height, as their shoulders are above the harness slots. The two younger boys’ harnesses look similar, although I’m betting their seat back can raise up another notch. For a forward facing seat, the harness needs to be at or above the shoulders. This does not appear to be the case for any of the boys in your video. In addition, a ffing seat needs to have the top tether attached, which aren’t visible in the back. 1. If there are no top tethers, the older boys would actually be safer in booster seats (if they even need those - see 5 step booster test). Finally, baby girl’s seat base isn’t level against the vehicle seat back. It’s likely tilted from loading and unloading (both her and the boys), but can easily squared up and the seatbelt reinserted in the lock off.

It’s a safety device so incorrect use can have negative consequences. Top tether use limits head movement in a crash or sudden stop.

I say this because other things car wise make it seem that way. When I checked out one of my car manuals once it actually said it recommended turning off the front airbag of the person was below 5ft2 because of the risk of injury from the airbag. (You can also have the seat further back). This can be solved by boosting yourself up. Also before the advent of height adjustment for the driver seat, you could get driving cushions that are technically boosters. So yeah, if you are driving and have the seat raised… it’s basically boostered.

I totally understand in now my adulthood why parents keep their children in car seats for the longest time possible. Its simply to keep their children safe - not to humiliate them. Seeing those boys sitting in car seat takes me back when I was 12 and had to sit in one of those booster seat in my parents jeep. They made me sit in high back with those huge head wings until I was almost 13 years old or when I finally managed that summer to reach those magical 150 cm numbers. Oh the joy when we finally got rid of it. I had to sit in a 5 point harness until I passed the maximum height for the harness, about 8--9 years old but I remember how angry I was when they made me transition from harness to the booster seat when most of my friends were allowed to sit in the front seat just using a seatbelt around the age of 8....As an adult now for me that is crazy. Back then the car seats were clunkier and they looked like giant baby seats, I made sure my friends never saw me riding mine...I had to sit in my seat until I was 9 years old + ride 3 years in Britax booster seat....If you are wondering what the Britax husky looks like thin about huge baby seat and even when I googled it I was shocked to see how cars seats have evolved past 15 years...The are much more toned and neat. Sitting in car seat is probably the only reason why I never asked my parents to drive me to soccer practice or to school because sitting in it totally embarrassed the hell out of me , One time my cousin got a ride home with us when her parents were overseas, she is 1 year older then me and I have never felt more humiliated in my childhood when she asked me why I was sitting in a baby seat? I did not understand it then why I was made to sit in a car seat but a father I understand it now after my daughter was born...She rides is 5 point harness and she will use the harness until she outgrows it...Even if she is 12.

Well I kind of got an answer from an insta story video from the other day where their van was out of commission and they were using another car and Zac and Michael were not in car seats (Owen and Chloe were, Chris wasnt in the car, sorry if I mixed the twins up). But I assume Zac and Chris will be moving out of them soon if they haven't already. Sounds like they're willing to make exceptions.

When your children ride in cars with other family members or friends' families do you require the twins and Michael to still ride in a car seat or a booster seat or are you most concerned about the added safety the car seats offers on longer road trips? Is 13 the age at which you allow your children to choose whether or not to use car seats? Do you transition from the full carseat to a booster seat or straight to a regular seat. I appreciate the fact that you put your children's safety first.

Car seat tech here- some of these are outgrown. Please have your local car seat tech help you sort something out because this is not safe. Straps must be at or above their shoulders forward facing, the baby’s straps are way loose, chest clips aren’t correct… you need some adjusting here for sure to get everyone safe.

I was 7 and got bullied for being the only kid still in a car seat. Can’t imagine being 12 in a car seat

Your husband low key doesn’t agree with the 12 year old’s being in the car seat.

I remember using a car seat until age 8 and a booster until age 10 which was bad enough. 12 sounds like a nightmare 😢

There are other options available for a “5 point harness” than a whole car seat made for smaller children

I checked the manual and it is not the 1” rule (normally for rear facing only) it’s the ears have to be below the top of the seat (normal for forward facing and high back booster seats). I do believe both boys head ready may be able to be moved up a notch or 2. Normally the rule is to max out by height or weight whichever comes first. The boy up front can definitely be raised and has a good amount left to be able to raise

“There’s a reason race car drivers wear a 5 point harness” that being said the attachment point for the harness should not be below their shoulders, which 3/4, almost all have the harness below their shoulders, also, they have roll cages. If you’re that worried in an accident why isn’t your van fitted with a roll cage and upgraded crash bar. Those are the true life saving features

I would consider letting them choose whether they want to sit in one or not. If it’s a safety thing then they should be fine but if your that worried then maybe look for smaller ones so that way it doesn’t look obvious that they are sitting in a car seat. I’m just worried about their options and what they think about the whole thing. Communication is key as they say.

Nahhhh bro I thought my parents were over protective put this is a whole new level and the parents putting the picture with the twins is crazy I would have died😂

I remember when I was 8 we went in this trip with my mom, my brother, my moms friends and two kids, and me. And the two other kids ages were 7&9. And the 7 year olds car seat wouldn’t come off of the seat but the 9 yr olds seat could. And the 7 yr old and my brother wanted to sit in the very back seats. (my brother was 12 at the time) So me and the 9 yr old sat in the middle row where the car seats were. After the first day of me hating that car seat I had to sit in, me and the nine yr old just sat in the back bc I won’t be caught dead in that seat. I stopped sitting in a booster seat at 7 I believe. 12 is ridiculous.

It takes a lot of thought and work to make arrangements for such a large family but you are doing a good job of it.

How much does your twins weight/how tall depending on your model the harness mode in the frontier is either 90 or 65lbs white the booster more weight go up to 120 lbs you'll fundthisin your manual. The harnesses should be at or above their shoulders for a forward facing harness looks like it's coming from below. Please see a car seat technician in your area to make sure everyone is riding safely have a great day 😊
