Bigger doesn't mean safer. Far from it.

""Are the best performers the biggest and heaviest vehicles on the road? Not at all. Among the safest cars are the midsize imports, like the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord. Or consider the extraordinary performance of some subcompacts, like the Volkswagen Jetta. Drivers of the tiny Jetta die at a rate of just forty-seven per million, which is in the same range as drivers of the five-thousand-pound Chevrolet Suburban and almost half that of popular S.U.V. models like the Ford Explorer or the GMC Jimmy. In a head-on crash, an Explorer or a Suburban would crush a Jetta or a Camry. But, clearly, the drivers of Camrys and Jettas are finding a way to avoid head-on crashes with Explorers and Suburbans. The benefits of being nimble--of being in an automobile that's capable of staying out of trouble--are in many cases greater than the benefits of being big.""

Bigger is USUALLY safer unless you hit something bigger or something immovable (e.g. lamp post). However, a lot of real world crashes happen against other vehicles on the road.

If a '5-star' Mini were to go head to head with a 'poor' Expedition or F-150, the Mini will still get creamed.

in a situation like that, don't slam on the brakes. it will most likely make things worse. although, easier said than done nga talaga, as braking will be the first instinct.

the correct coutnermeasure is to try to control the skid with steering input and smooth throttle input, then gradually slow to a stop when directional control is regained.

that also depends kung anong age nung bata.

kc kung masyadong maliit siya, dapat naka child seats siya.
