The 6 safest family cars

There's even an integrated booster seat in the backseat.

Volvo took safety precautions to a new level with the XC90.

This picture shows Volvo testing their 'run-off road' safety package.

Their new tech helps limit the likeliness of spine injuries in the event that the driver drives off the road by accident.

The Volvo XC90 starts at about $44,000.

The Mazda3 is one of the best low-cost hatchbacks you can buy in America.

If you do minimal driving or you just don't find yourself hauling too much cargo, the Mazda3 is a great option.

Like the XC90, the Mazda3 scored a IIHS Top Safety Pick+. What's almost just as good as that, the IIHS also rated the child seat anchors ease of use better than many other cars on the Top Safety Pick list.

It's offered with a choice of a six-speed manual transmission or an automatic with optional paddle shifters.

The Mazda 3 hatchback starts at about $18,500.

The Subaru Outback will safely carry your kids to school, whether the drive is through muddy terrain or down the highway.

There's one solid reason why your children will hate the Subaru Outback.

That's because its proven all-wheel-drive system allows the car to go almost anywhere, anytime, under almost any circumstance. This means that on those days where it should really be a snow day, but the school district just won't cancel, your kids are going to be the ones getting to school.

Subaru's Eyesight safety package has technology like pre-collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and more.

These tech features are what helped get the Outback an IIHS Top Safety Pick+, and are what will keep you and your children safe when on the road.

The Subaru Outback with Eyesight safety tech starts at about $29,000.

Not only Tesla's Model X one of the safest SUVs ever, it's also one of the fastest SUVs ever.

Tesla said in September that its crash tests indicate the Model X will receive a 5 star safety rating in all categories.

But the Model X isn't just safe, it's fast.

Using ludicrous mode, the Model X P90D is capable of 0-60 in a mind blowing 3.2 seconds.

That's supercar quick!

And your kids will never get tired of playing with the Falcon Wing doors.

That might not be a good thing.

The Tesla Model X starts at about $80,000.

If you don't need all of the Outback's room, the Subaru Crosstrek is a great secondary option.

Like the Outback, you still have Subaru's all-wheel-drive system and a decent amount of ground clearance to go with it to help get through or over any obstacles that might show up in the car's path.

Subaru's Eyesight safety tech can also be found in the Crosstrek. The Crosstrek was also awarded the same IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award as well.

The Subaru Crosstrek equipped with the Eyesight safety tech starts at about $25,000.

The new Audi Q7 scored big.

Audi's recently redesigned Q7 hangs right up there with the Volvo XC90 as one of the safest luxury SUVs you can buy right now.

The IIHS gave it top scores in each of their crash tests and awarded it an overall Top Safety Pick+ award for 2016.

When opened, your children will be mesmerized by the massive panoramic sunroof.

The Audi Q7 starts at about $55,000.

The Volvo XC90 is safe, luxurious, and very good looking.
