Soccer moms agree, side curtain airbags saved lives

Side curtain airbags on minivans can save countless lives when deployed in a side impact crash. Soccer moms around the world who tote kids to and from athletic events prefer minivans with side curtain airbags than those without. Even in a head-on collision or rearview collision the side curtain airbags will deploy increasing the safety of those inside the minivan tenfold.

Side curtain airbags are new addition to minivans but they have already saved many lives in crash tests and in the real world crash tests. The side curtain airbags fall from the ceiling of the minivan and inflate just like regular airbags to in the front of the minivan. They cover the windows so that passengers are protected from flying glass and debris. They also protect the passengers head when being jostled around during and after a collision with another vehicle, tree or building.

Soccer moms love the fact that their children are being protected by side curtain airbags that will deploy in case of an accident no matter where the minivan is hit in case of an accident. Accidents can happen at any time and being prepared is the best defense against being seriously injured.

Minivans that are manufactured with the side curtain airbags include Chrysler Town & Country, Honda Odyssey, Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona, Mazda 5, Mercury Monterey, Nissan Quest and Toyota Sienna, with the Mercury Monterey having the highest overall quality rating for the side curtain airbags at a 9.6 on the consumer rating scale.
