It's the lowered floor with kneeling system. To get in I need to be on level ground. I have also gotten into other similar, different make kneeling systems. I have not heard of someone unable to get in.

Based on this e-mail you sit at 58 inches and you're able to fit into a mini Dodge. What type of ramp or lift do you have?

I sit higher in my power chair than in the manual, and I have plenty of head space.

I usually sit around 57 1/2 inches, but am able to tilt back slightly in order to get into a van. I am wondering if I might fit into such a van. It sure would be great for the gas mileage, not to mention the parking. Quadius
