Mini vans make for more dangerous roads. They reduce safety for everyone else. Buying a mini van is participating in endangering children, same as buying a pick-up truck.

Frontal visibility is not where the dangers end. Heavier, larger cars deal more damage in accidents. The longer cars are less maneuverable, which increases the chance of an accident. It makes more car to clip into bikes as well.
