[quote=Anonymous]If you care about pure safety, bigger is better, up to a point. If your kid is in a Taurus that collides with a Smart Car, physics will be on your child's side. Statistically, the safest cars are around 4,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. Large family cars like the Taurus or a minivan. SUVs, especially mid-sized and up, are more prone to rollovers. I'd buy as new as you can afford, to take advantage of the newest safety features. The most significant advances in safety have been air bags, anti-lock brakes, and vehicle stability assist. You can get all three on modest used cars. There is a lot of safety information available at iihs.org. [/quote]
