SUVs: Don't Blame 'em on the Kids I know a kajillion people who've justified their SUV purchases by saying, well, we need it for the kids.

Now a new study reports that SUVs don't protect children any better than cars do, and may be worse....

As the Philadelphia Inquirer puts it, "Children are no safer riding in sport-utility vehicles than in passenger cars, largely because the doubled risk of rollovers in SUVs cancels out the safety advantages of their greater size and weight, a study has found."

So how about that Honda Odyssey instead? Or a Passat wagon?  ¶ 6:54 AM
