As the seat continues into the back of the Sienna, it automatically reclines and rotates into position.

Side Entry vs Rear Entry Handicap Vans

The most popular type of non-commercial handicap van is a side entry van. This type of handicap van is best for those who are open to modifying their vehicle, drivers or passengers using a wheelchair, and best for parallel parking. Meanwhile, rear entry vans are best suited for those who want to minimize any modifications on their vehicle, best for passengers using a wheelchair and suits perpendicular parking. Another main difference is cost. Rear entry wheelchair vans usually cost less to modify than side entry vans. Did you know that we have handicap accessible mini-vans for sale?
