Do any crash tests consider the safety of passengars in the 3rd row of a car? Our minivan, which had a five star safety rating, was recently hit from behind and totaled (was stopped, waiting to turn left and was hit at close to 50mph). As with just about all vehicles with a 3rd row the last row is very, very close to the rear bumper.
Thankfully our daughter, who normally sits in the 3rd row, had just been dropped of for a playdate as damage in this area was quite severe.
Anyone know of any tests that look at the safety of the 3rd row? Anyone else have experience with accidents from the rear?
At this point we are wondering if we should replace our minivan with a Suburban or Yukon XL as they are just about the only cars on the market with meaningful room between the 3rd row and rear bumper.
