Is your minivan or any kind of crossover SUV, third row seat safe to put children in the third row. That's a big question and it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. What you want to look for is, look in your owners manual for your vehicle because some vehicle state you cannot put car seats in the third row. You need to know which vehicles that is, hopefully, before you buy it for your kids. What are we looking at is crumple zones from front and back. Front and back gets the most trauma in crashes. It's almost always front and back. If someone hits you in the rear, with enough force, around 40 miles an hour; they can crumple that front all the way into the back seat, depending on the vehicle. You want one that has a good crumple zone and you want to make sure before you buy it that you can put children in car seats in the back.
