When it comes to accessible transportation for individuals with mobility challenges, WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) conversions have traditionally been a very attractive solution for wheelchair users. However, there's a new contender in town that's offering a spacious and versatile alternative—the Next Generation WAV. In this blog post, we'll explore why this alternative might be the perfect choice for those seeking accessible transportation without the need for a WAV conversion.

By combining our Turny Swivel Seat with a stowing solution, such as a hoist or platform lift, we can offer an alternative solutions setup that achieves a similar outcome to the WAV conversion!

Benefits:

Ample Space

One of the standout features of the Kia Carnival is its generous interior space. This abundance of space makes it an excellent choice for families, caregivers, or organizations that need to transport individuals with mobility aids. There's plenty of room to accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility devices without the need for costly and time-consuming WAV conversions. Our set up allows the mobility device to be stowed comfortable in the vehicles rear and allows the user to be seated up in the first or second row seating positions.

Easy Entry and Exit

The Turny range offers facilitates easy access for individuals with mobility challenges. The sliding rear doors and a spacious cabin make it simple for passengers to get in and out of the vehicle, reducing the need for elaborate adaptations. Caregivers and passengers alike will appreciate the convenience that these solutions offer.

Flexible Seating Arrangements

Flexibility is key when it comes to accessible transportation. The Turny seat can be fitted into the front passenger seat or the second row when the vehicle has a sliding rear door. This is a very attractive alternative to a WAV conversion as this allows the mobility device user to sit up from with the rest of the family!

Cost-Effective Solution

WAV conversions can be expensive and time-consuming, often requiring extensive modifications to the vehicle. In contrast, choosing this solution setup as an alternative can save you both time and money. You can have a spacious and accessible vehicle without any heavy modifications being made to the vehicle!
