…At least until I allow my children to get in. No, really it will be this way for awhile, but as in my previous post, it doesn’t stay this way, unless you work at it by doing regular touch ups and straightening. We try to work on the van organization at least twice a month–my goal is weekly, but you know how that goes.
Below are pictures of the entire interior of my van. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments area, or post in my forum that is in my side bar. THANKS!!

Behind the rear (4th row bench seat), stroller goes in here.

As you can tell, we have literally utilized space in our van. I don’t like to get somewhere then have a spontaneous thought to do something, but not be able to, because we don’t have something. Hardly ever do I find I don’t have what I need.

Hi Betty, I know this is an older post, but I hope you’ll reply.
In the pictures, it looks like you have a booster seat for your 10 year old. Is he still in a booster now? We have eight children and love our 12-passenger van, but I’ve always been concerned about how low the seats are, no neck support for our older children in case of an accident, etc. I wondered if you had a suggestion on how to make the seats safer for older kids. Our older ones, not in booster seats, are 13, 11, and 10, and all are very tall for their age.
Great tips on organizing a van for a large family!
Yes, all my children are still in car seats or boosters.
I am not sure what we will do when it comes time to move them out. 
You should try a Mercedes Sprinter Van for your next trip… More Space in the back and Higher selling
Van ideas are great. We’ve been looking into getting a 15 passenger, but I was concerned I wouldn’t have enough room in the back for my stroller. What kind of stroller do you use? How many of your kids still ride in a stroller. I have a runabout 3 seater. It’s great, but big. We don’t do a whole lot of running around, but when I need it, I need it. Sarah
You have thought of EVERYTHING!! That is seriously impressive I especially like the extra clothes, water, and trash can. I’m going to have to rethink my car situation! Thanks for linking up!!
Wow that’s awesome! You’ve given me some great ideas I could us in my car. Thanks for all the tips!
I love how you have organized your van! It looks great. It was a great visual. You have allergies also (we have an epi-pen too)? You have done a great job of utilizing the space.
Blessings
