"Any thoughts on any studies on this so I can allay her fears?"

Just a thought: ask her to provide technical data supporting those fears.
Where does that thinking come from?

Hey All,
So now that I�ve got the van all fixed up and have put time and money into
it, my wife is telling me that she is concerned that the van is unsafe for
our kids to ride in it.  Now before I go on I should note that it�s and 83
diesel 1.6 and I have personally checked all seatbelts and seat tracks, etc.
to assure her (and me) that it�s safe.  She�s mainly worried about tipping
over.  Any thoughts on any studies on this so I can allay her fears?

Dave
