I agree, I drive an 06 Trailblazer, I have a 4 year old, and an 8 month old, you can be a "good, safe" driver all you want, but when you are on a highway and you see a full airborne Honda Civic, flipping over in mid air, coming right at you at about 60mph, I would rather my kids be in a BIGGER truck to withstand the impact, if we were in another Civic or Corolla, we would be dead, like the other driver, who wasn't paying attention, because they were texting while driving.

I have avoided countless accidents with slower, poor handling SUV's, because I can react faster and get out of the way in smaller better performing cars. I watch 360 degrees around me at all times, and know what everyone is doing. I see that idiot coming up at 90 in the right lane about a mile back, or the other one turning left in front of me way in advance. I also always know what is going on in my blind spots. Good driving is a skill that needs to be learned. Handing a kid an SUV is not the answer. People do get killed in them too when they roll over and crush the occupants. I see many more accidents with SUV's involved than any other type of car.
