Is the Back Seat Really Safer?

from TechMobility Topics Hosted by TechMobility Productions Inc.

Think the back seat is the safest spot in a crash? New IIHS testing challenges that idea, and we examine why rear-seat protection in many newer vehicles still lags behind that of the front. We highlight which models earned top marks, why small and midsize SUVs exceeded expectations, and why minivans—despite their family-friendly image—didn't make the cut. You’ll get straightforward, jargon-free insights on how modern restraint systems work, what to look for when buying, and the one habit that still boosts every safety feature’s effectiveness.
