and even considering gas mileage i'd take a 4runner , highlander , or rav 4 over the sienna ANY day of the week. but apparently i'm retarded.
only if you put your kids in the 3rd row of any of those vehicles. Their heads would be 2 - 4 inches away from the back glass.

And I'm well aware of the size of the Rav, but it just shows you how undersized the highlander is. Rav is classified as small. It losses in the girth catagory...and we all know how important girth is ;)

trust there's more than 3/4 inches. not a whole lot more but me and my co workers regularly cram ourselves into the 3rd row seats and check it out , half the time laughing half the time seriously considering a long period of time being stuck back there.

there are also rear headrests.

the vehicles still get high crash ratings.

lol. girth.

if the kids don;t like the seats they can get out and walk. "see you at home"

and if i had them in the rear seat a bad accident occurred and they died i'd prob sue if it looked like the design was flawed from a safety perspective.

3 to 4 inches, not 3/4 inches.

Indeed. Football players wear helmets but still endu up concussed, no?

the vehicles still get high crash ratings.
Indeed, but they haven't yet tested any of these designs w/dummies in the back getting rear-ended by 3k lb worth of vehicle moving at 45mph.

lol. girth.

Kids don't know danger when it's right in front of them, that's why so many still sign up to be alter boys and want to goto hang out with Micheal Jackson

and if i had them in the rear seat a bad accident occurred and they died i'd prob sue if it looked like the design was flawed from a safety perspective.
I'm sure there will be a case soon. It's only a matter of time, and I'm interested to see how it goes. However, bottom line, if you're sueing at this point, you're life has already been altered for the worse.
