We are expecting #3 and in need of a bigger vehicle. I'm torn. I've heard that vans are safer than SUVs, especially when it comes to rollover risk. However, the van that we are looking at (Odyssey) only comes in front wheel drive. That makes me nervous because we live in Buffalo and get a crap ton of snow every year. We stay in when the weather is bad, but there is snow or ice on the ground for most of winter and so it's impossible to avoid driving in it.
If we got the minivan we would use good quality snow tires, but I'm wondering if we might be better off in an SUV with AWD. My preference for convenience sake is the van, but safety is my #1 priority.
All advice and feedback welcome.
