#Bluey very large SUVs

Coco’s Family Car

Coco the poodle is part of a big family, the Bluey wiki on fandom.com says she has eight older siblings.

They get around in this SUV, which was in the background in “Explorers”, and was also in the parking lot in “TV Shop”.

Probably something like a GMC Suburban? Hard to tell, maybe we’ll get to see it again sometime.

Pompom & Big Pickups

Pompom the Pomeranian is 4 or 5 years old depending on the episode and she is friends with Bluey and Bingo. She is about the size of a soccer ball, or a basketball, or a pumpkin, etc.

Front Blind Spots

You may have heard about this, if you follow transportation engineering / road safety topics: road safety advocates say private vehicles, especially pickup trucks and SUVs, are getting too massive.

Advocates point to the fact that these vehicles are large and that this, plus the position of the driver, results in a significant blind spot immediately in front of these vehicles. To demonstrate this, they will position a row of children in front of a parked vehicle and they’ll add children until the driver can see a child.

(The idea being that if there’s a kid located closer than the one that’s visible, the motorist can’t see them, and thus that’s a safety hazard: a child could be run over by accident.)

Imagine doing this with dog kids the size of Pompom! It would take a large number of them in a row before you’d see one.

This must be very challenging for car makers (and safety advocates) in the “Bluey” universe. Not to mention drivers!

Especially with vehicles getting larger in Bluey-Brisbane…

Not to mention there are grannies the same height as kids like Muffin…

(Actually I may have overstated the problem, at least for Pompom, as she looks like she is small enough for vehicles to pass right over her.)

Be careful on the roads, everyone!
