subject: New Wheelchair Accessible Vans for the Family on the Move [print this page] It wasn't too long ago that being in a wheelchair meant that you were limited in the places you could go and the things that you could do. While some might argue that there are still limitations on these things, the world today offers many more options for the wheelchair bound individual. Those who are in wheelchairs today are no longer forced to stay at home when the rest of the family goes on vacation or out on the town. The new wheelchair accessible vans that are on the market make getting to all of the places you want to go much easier, and they are large enough to accommodate everyone in the family.
Minivans are the most popular type of wheelchair van available today. You are still able to get the larger full size vans, but most people seem to prefer the smaller models. They are undoubtedly easier to drive and park, and with the rising cost of gasoline, it is easy to understand the allure of the minivan over the larger models. The minivans still have plenty of interior room, and with the lowered floor and raised roofs, there is plenty of headroom as well.
These new wheelchair accessible vans are safe as well. Even though they have been altered to accommodate handicapped individuals, they have gone through crash testing to see that their structural integrity holds up during an accident. They also have safety features such as wheelchair tie downs that are specifically for those with wheelchairs. Anyone who is transporting their family in their wheelchair vans will be happy with all of these safety measures.
The vans are easy to operate too. The ramps have simple to operate controls and the door slides open without much effort. There is also plenty of room in the van for all of your personal effects and your family. You can take the van on vacation with you or use it when you are taking the kids to soccer practice. They are perfect for a family who needs to go places and who do not want to leave any of their family members at home. Find a dealer who is in your area so you can see the different new models that are available. The Honda Odyssey vans are very popular and they are a great size as well. Give the vans you like a test drive and see what the family has to say.
