My husband is considering the 2009 Forester or the new Mini-Clubman for his car. While it will be for his use in commuting, there is always the possibility of the kids using it occasionally. I don't like the size of the Clubman, it is so small there can't be much crumple zone. The Forester rides higher than our old Legacy wagon, it has rear side curtain and side torso bags. Am I correct that they are now testing for out of position safety of SAB and that if a vehicle meets criteria you can put kids in the rear outboard?
Anybody have any comments on these vehicles while we are in the researching stage?
My kids are soon to be 5 and 7, I have been using extended harnessing in my car, a 2005 Ford Freestyle. Their boosters will be Parkways.
