Vans are tyically seen with people with handicaps (0r lots of kids and
strollers.) The newer ones aren't too high and some even can be equipped for
wheelchairs., plus they have room in the back for dogs or whatever..

I need some advice. We currently have a Mountaineer with a nice large flat
step, but my husband's legs have recently gotten too weak to climb up into
it safely.

I am wondering if anyone on this list would share the kind of vehicle they
think is about the right height for easy access. I know it will depend on
the length of your legs though. Tom has long legs--21" from the floor to the
back of his knees.

I know we will have to actually try out the vehicles, but he tires out SO
quickly that I would like to have a list of likely ones ahead of time.

The decision is made more difficult by the fact that we have two large dogs
that also need to travel in the vehicle to the vet etc., which is why we
have the Mountaineer now. Previously we had a Jimmy. They both have a hatch
back that when the seats are down, gives the dogs an adequate place to lie
down.

So please, if anyone knows of a station wagon or other type of vehicle that
would be easy access for Tom and have space in the back for dogs, share your
thoughts.

Thanks so much.
LouAnn and Tom
