THE Radford family sparked concern among 22 Kids and Counting viewers on Wednesday night, due to their lack of seatbelt wearing during their campervan holiday to Scotland.
The family headed to the Scottish Highlands for their first holiday in two years, although left their eldest children at home.

They’d hired two campervans for the trip – for which they’d paid a hefty £1,500 deposit – and split the family between the two vehicles as they made the long journey to Scotland.
And despite the family packing in several fun excursions during their time away, several viewers took to social media to voice their concerns about some of the children apparently not wearing seatbelts.
Although it’s not technically illegal in the UK not to wear a seatbelt while in the back of a campervan, it’s strongly advised to do so while the vehicle is in transit.
Watching the episode, one person wrote on Twitter: “I’m assuming the velocity of a child is different in a Campervan than it is in a car? #22kidsandcounting.”
While another added: “watched 22 kids and counting- usually impressed with how they cope, but not happy with them driving while kids aren’t buckled in.”
At various points in the episode, several of the children could be seen securely strapped in in their car seats.
However, there was one point in particular where the younger boys appeared to be happily ignoring their belts.
Instead of sitting belted up as the van drove to the next destination, they decided to help themselves to milk from the fridge, and left it on the side without the lid on instead of putting it away.
The bottle then fell off as the van turned a corner, spilling milk over the floor and potentially costing the Radfords their deposit.

Referring to the fact the boys weren’t wearing their belts, another person tweeted: “I like the idea of the motorhomes but shouldn’t the kids be strapped into those seats? #22kidsandcounting.”
Speaking of the Radfords, here’s how the family-of-22 afford to live.
