We have a potty in our van too! For easy clean up, we always just ‘line’ the potty with the largest diaper we have on hand, have our child do their business, then simply wrap up the soiled diaper and place it in a plastic garbage bag for disposal once we are home or find a public restroom. Works like a charm every time and no mess!!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Such a good idea!!

[@brittneycook9304]

We do the same makes clean up so easy. We put a plastic grocery bag and a diaper down inside the bag.

[@kawaiifranki]

That’s a rly smart idea!

[@emilycpc]

“Or should I say, this mamas bus” 🤣🤣 that cracked me up! Lol

[@stefanybeyer4653]

So helpful! We are maxed out on seatbelts right now and thinking that a 12/15 passenger van might be our next move. I love your organization tips!

[@Lesh004]

My brother has that exact same transit for his 5 kids. They’ve had no problems getting around with it. It was super nice to fit my family and our mom in the same vehicle. We visited them in NJ and were able to go everywhere together. And it allowed them to make the 12 hr drive, to visit us, without the kids arguing. They each get their own row for long trips. With plenty of room for all the luggage they need, and space for their dog.

[@janetmay7788]

This is great! We are in the market for a new vehicle and this was helpful to see what's out there, thanks! A tip for the potty, line it with a size 6 diaper, or a cloth insert. All the mess stays in one place and it's fairly easy to clean up once you get home. We do this on long trips and it's been a life saver many times.

[@beingcaitlin]

Was just going to suggest this? Wrap it up and toss it right away 😆

[@hannaherin9123]

Love it! I’m the oldest of 8 kids and my parents bought at 12 passenger Ford van when I was in middle school. I was so embarrassed as a teenager but we all laugh about it now ❤

[@HabitsofaHomemaker]

This is so great! What a blessing! 🥰🙌🏽 Thank you for giving us a tour. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family. ✨

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@HabitsofaHomemaker]

@@ThisMamasHouse you’re very welcome 🥰

[@Blessed_SAHM_Of3]

I bet having the 15 passenger van makes grocery trips/shopping much easier as far as space in the vehicle! We are about to have our 2nd baby and plan on atleast 2 more and are going to purchase a Minivan next spring since our Chevy equinox just isn't cutting it space wise anymore. We cant even fit all our groceries and stroller in the trunk of our equinox with one toddler and my husband just installed our infant carseat for the baby and there's just no room in the equinox for anything anymore! Love your videos Tabitha :)

[@kawaiifranki]

Thank you for sharing this video. I was looking for a mini van and wasn’t very happy with the options they have nowadays. And bumped into this video. I’m definitely trading in my GMC suv for this. It’s spacious and it will fit my 5 kids + me and whoever wants to ride along. I love how you have all those things in the back. Like the extra change of clothes, diapers, etc. It’s a neat way to organize all that. You gave me a lot of ideas girl. Thank you! 😀

[@jwebbw]

I believe they've been making these 8 to10 passenger window vans for about 40 years or so. None the less, another proud owner of a new 'new to her' vehicle. cheers !!

[@chandaelizabeth3046]

A family that goes to my church has this van, theyve got 10 kids! The 3 oldest can all drive and have 2 their own cars now, but they can fit their whole family in it, and they love it!

[@reniedavisson8532]

Congratulations on your find! I hope it serves you well. LOVE

[@sophiahace9920]

Nice! I had no idea they made diffusers for the car! I need to get one! Also, loved your idea about the drawer organizers in the back-so handy! Genius mama! Enjoy you channel. ❤

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@frozenjonesfam]

Very nice! We have a 12-passenger NV which we love, but the transits have always gotten rave reviews. The rear-wheel drive is the biggest issue in the winter (we’re in WI), but we just don’t go out if the roads are going to be terrible. Enjoy your new-to-you van!

[@debbiedeb9094]

"we always have a spare rock" lol!! Definitely sounds like my car

[@paigeyoung4041]

I will always watch to the end if you keep doing behind the scenes stuff at the end 🤣

[@brendatenney8404]

Such a large and nice van. Bussy....so cute to be named!! ❤️❤️. God is good to all in his own time. That van is a huge blessing for your beautiful family.

[@shannonreynolds5084]

Our church has one. It's so very nice! So happy for you!

[@GenerationX3333]

Yes! You need a bumper sticker that says "This Mama's Bus"

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Oh yes I totally do

[@jessicaely2521]

I drove a Ford Transit for work. I worked for an At Risk Teen Program. It's a great car. We had the hard floor and yes it's great if you can get it. One time the group of kids we had decided it was a good idea to have a food fight in the van (the food fight included maple syrup). I had the joy of cleaning it and was extremely happy to have the hard floors.

[@emilycpc]

Love the “behind the scenes” at the end 🤣🥰🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@traciecarlson4706]

We have a 15 passenger Chevy Express with the back seat taken out for more storage. I have liked it but we have all bench seats and I love yours with the aisle all the way down. That's awesome!

[@fitlw]

Currently looking (only for now) since we're going to be a family of 8. Never thought we'd be looking for a van like this lol

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Same! But I love it!!

[@gigimac8459]

Very helpful video. My son and daughter in law need this type of vehicle with seven kiddos. Thanks Tabitha for the van tour!

[@Buttercream580]

💜💜💜 The behind the scenes was my favorite part. 🤣

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Oh you’re the first to have noticed it or at least say anything hahahah

[@friedell16]

Yes i love the titanic move 🤣

[@jessicaevans7701]

We have a Ford Transit for my husband’s construction business and it’s hands down such a great vehicle to drive I was nervous backing up for sure but it has everything you’d want plus the engine is great!

[@jessicarisvold4817]

We put a disposable diaper in the potty and wrap it up and throw it away when we get home like a regular diaper 😊

[@PetroGP]

Love it ❤love it ❤ We had to upgrade too. We have the Nissan PS van. We love love ours. Mama of 5 here 🙋🏻‍♀️ we also have a setup like your. God keep blessing you guys.

[@rachelortega9991]

You could do the caddys still but put a bigger piece of velcro on the bottom and that way they won't slide. ❤

[@kaitlync15]

We have a big canvas tote we take in and out of the car each time for allllll the things we bring lol

[@domesticchaoscoordinator3743]

How funny!! My video just uploaded at the exact time as yours with my tour on our medium roof! 😅

No way 😂

[@maanderson9519]

The cubbies under the seats is a brilliant idea! Have you considered hook and loop so they don't shift in transit? Easy for the kids to get but not sliding around. Just an idea

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Oh that’s a great idea! Thank you

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Great video. Love the bus. Be blessed.

Hi! I just bought a transit for my family! I love it but was wondering if you have a hard time with parking? I’m sure you’re used to it by now but I’m so nervous about the length with the sharp turns and backing up and not being able to see out the back window. How is it parking for you? 😅

[@ThisMamasHouse]

It’s terrible 😂 I always park really far away

I had questions about this - what is that for? Is this a catholic thing? I’ve never heard of it before!

Same question from me,too.

@@kbutrie Yes, Catholics bring it everywhere. In case of emergencies it is a sacramental.

Hey Tabitha I received a message from an account saying it was from you but I'm pretty sure it is a fake. Just wanted to let you know

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Thank you. I’m not able to see the messages. It’s definitely a scammer! Please report!

[@Thewrightplaceplans]

Are there a lot of transits in that area? We have been considering going to GR to look for ours.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I seem to see a lot driving!

[@defineddisabledlife3463]

Not meaning any offence by this it just really surprised me. I know your heavily religious and that’s fine I’m not bagging you or your religion. Been a long time fan. But I was so shocked when you said you carry around holy water. I’ve never heard of anyone outside of movies and tv shows have it. How long have you had it for? Do you use it for anything? And why did you start using it? And is this a common thing that I have somehow never heard of?

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I always have holy water with me at all times. I use it often. It’s meant to bless yourself with or bless others/things. It’s partially symbolic, you put it on your fingers and make the sign of the cross. It’s suppose to remind you of your baptism. But it’s also sort of like a tool for the faithful :) it’s very common. You can walk into any Catholic Church and find a holy water don’t and probably a holy water filling station

[@defineddisabledlife3463]

@@ThisMamasHouse oh wow. That’s interesting. I’m glad you feel comfortable doing that when your out and about. I grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness. So I understand and empathise with the backlash you can sometimes get.

is it a diesel or gas version???
