 This is a VERY safe van.  I was in an accident and totaled my van this past Saturday.  To say the least, the van is a mangled mess and is missing three wheels.  The frame is a pretzel, but my children and I were completely safe!  We were able to climb out the driver's door (the only working door) and were unharmed.  This van did it's job...it kept my kids safe.  I am looking to purchase this van again because I do feel safe driving my children inside of it.
