Father Of Triplets Has A Backseat Invention That Will End All Tantrums

Father Of Triplets Has A Backseat Invention That Will End All Tantrums

Kids driving you mad?

Fighting kids in the back of the car could be a thing of the past thanks to a father of triplets' ingenious adaption to the back seats of his family motor.

Living with triplets must be pretty tough at the best of times. As one of three boys, who are collectively all less than two years in age from each other, I understand what you're going through. Fighting, vomiting and drawing on the interiors - yeah, I was a little shit too.

Most screaming and fighting children grow out of it eventually, but one lad couldn't take any more and found a way to say goodbye to fighting children forever. Just pen them in. Sorted!

Jake White, from Cincinnati, Ohio, installed interior walls in between each of his three two-year-olds to shut them the hell up when he was driving them anywhere.

The creative solution, which allegedly took White just five minutes to install, prevents his kids from looking at each other, let alone fighting.

He told Today Parents: "I did it because there was snack-stealing going on and to a two-year-old, that's the end of the world.

"The dividers are foam core, just strong enough to keep the kids separated. The kids aren't strong enough to break it from a seated position yet."

While most are calling the in-car apparatus 'creative' and 'funny', others believe it's not safe. Some have criticised his invention saying that the boards would not be safe in a crash. Perhaps those people don't have triplets fighting in the back seat to contend with.

Either way, and despite there being room for the odd improvement, I think White is on to something here. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we start seeing these bad boys being flogged online.
