Wheelchair Accessible SUV: 2021 Chevrolet Traverse
Giving a tour/review of my 2021 Chevrolet traverse SUV C5 complete spinal cord injury quadriplegic.
**Huge appreciation to the Semper Fi fund.!!!**
I would also like to add that when parking in front of a curb, this vehicle needs a good amount of space away from the curb. The ramp door sticks out much further than the van’s when opening, and can get damaged if you park too close.

WHEELCHAIR CLOTHING: Pants
Переглядів 7 тис.6 років тому
In this video I share did you see where of wearing pants for those who are struggling to get dressed independently or whose caregivers have a hard time putting on pants especially for wheelchair users. It is important that we are not wearing pants that are too tight for us and that we remain comfortable while sitting all day long. I do not own any music content!

Hey how are you? How old are you?
Is it 4wd?
Wait but why is she walking I am confused Or the person talking is not the one filming? Edit: yeah okay that was the case haha Awesome conversion!!
Any of you have an ATC wheelchair vehicle?
I would like to communicate with you. I have a Traverse 2022 (converted by Braun Ability) with so many problems since day one, and I will like to know you experience so far.
Of course, do you have Instagram?
Thank you
Do you mind posting what some of your problems have been? I'm about to get a 2023 modified Traverse from Braun Ability. It will cost a lot of money and I don't want to spend that much if I'm gonna have problems. I also drive from a power wheelchair. Thanks!
I hope this link give you an idea.@@jgweems

Cual es el precio del veiculo
Good for you. Our Traverse 2022 has been a lemon. Check Braun reviews.
Nice! Awesome work 👏👏👏 I really like the koala bear
Just found this. Love your decor! Great job
How did u get from the passenger side to the driver side u did not show that part
I only sit on the passenger side. My caregiver drives the drivers side, and we recorded after she started driving too
Is there a reason you chose an EZ Lock over a Dahl system for example, or just what the dealer has on hand.
This is basically what the dealership told me to get. 😊I never really have issues with EZ Lock though.
@@Brenda-ey8vj I figured, I like how the pin is more lenient with depth, we put the Dahl system in our Sienna and it seems a lot more sturdy than the EZ lock but nowhere near as forgiving with height
Thanks for the tutorial on makeup. Cant wait to try it.😊
La cambiaré por mi Silverado kiero una de esas
Just wondering if u have facebook?
Good evening how are you? I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing it. What was the name of the company that helped you with the financial part of the vehicle?
I'm quad😂too
nice car
Where did you buy it?
your powerchair- accessible car is cool! how i wish i could buy the same!
Thank you
Great job
What is the name of the people who helped you purchase your car?
Everything is beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤️🌹
Beautiful home you have
This is the car I hope to get and it would be perfect for my good friend who is in a wheelchair! And our combined three dogs 🤣
You’re so kind! Wish everyone had a good friend like you!
These paintings are dope!!!!
Music is fine didn't even notice it. Very nice informative video.
How much is it to make the SUV able to have the door modified?
Anyone of you think that the Traverse is better option than the Honda? Thank you!
The Toyota Sienna, is a much better choice over the Honda Odyssey.
Cool 😎
Brenda, big hug for you with best wishes for you channel and yourself. Veeery useful info! Thank you so much🌷🌷🌷🌷
How much was the total cost of the vehicle?
Regardless of which vehicle you purchase, you need to plan on $105,000 to $115,000.
Do you think someone in a manual chair could drive from their chair? I’m worried about the height of the dash.
Did you ever figure out the answer to your question? I was wondering the same thing
@@VeeMarieS yes and yes but you’ll need a transfer seat
It is a very nice house 😘😘 Hugs from a Fellow Spoonie all the way from Norway 🌹🌹
Thanks for the info. We are looking at getting one for my son.
C5 is my level
It's great to see you!
This is 4x4 car?
Nice😎
Hi. Thanks for posting this video on your Chevy traverse. I was actually in the process of comparing vehicles to get a new vehicle for myself. I was trying to decide between the Chrysler Pacifica, Toyota Sienna, or this Chevy Traverse. One of the things that I noticed in the Toyota is that trying to get behind the steering wheel (I drive from my wheelchair) is that it wasn't very spacious and I was getting pushed off center from the wheel… because the push rims on my wheelchair were spacing me further to the right off the door. I'm C5 quadriplegic in a manual wheelchair. I looked at braun abilities comparison chart and they said that the Chevy traverse is actually less spacious width wise in the front compared to the Toyota as well as the Pacifica... I actually got into Pacifica and it did feel wider in the driver area than a Sienna... but no one has a Traverse in my city so I can’t compare… I was wondering if you feel like the Traverse is less spacious upfront width wise for you trying to position your wheelchair compared to your older van. If you don't mind me asking do you know how wide your chair is?
Hello, my power chair is less than 30 inches wide, I have plenty of space when I sit up in the front, but sometimes adjusting my chair to slide right into the easy lock is a little bit hard. But I do not feel cramped up in there. I think with a manual chair you will have just the right amount of space
@@Brenda-ey8vj thanks for the reply
If you already bought one, I will like to know your experience. We bought a Traverse 2022 (converted by Braun Ability) and it has so many problems since day one.
AWD Option?
Cuanto te costo
Hello Brenda remember Rosa Avelar I’m her son I still watch you
Question now that the video has a couple months can you tell me if you recall having less issues with your van. Can you tell how much more ez lock cost?/
Yes the van gave me less issues. The easy lock I don’t know because my vocational rehab at the hospital paid for it
Who helped you with the cost of the suv? Sorry I could not understand the organizations or company name. Thank you
I meant to type the name on the screen I mistakenly edited out I’m sorry about that but yes it is the Semper Fi fund
Hi I'm looking into this SUV but I think it might be costly. Can you tell me how much it cost. Thanks
Regardless of which vehicle you purchase, you need to plan on $105,000 to $115,000.
Hey there. Thanks for posting your video. I've always heard from friends or older family that vehicles in their first year tend to have lots of glitches and it's best to wait a year or so for the next model year to get those glitches worked out whether it be wiring or whatever. I used to have an MV-1 since 2012 and just bought a 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan last October. I love it. I don't find the road noise near as bad as it was in the MV-1. In saying that I haven't gone anywhere with passengers in the backseat yet. I'm itching to do some more road trips soon when the covid numbers are a little safer. I really appreciated your tour particularly on the inside of the vehicle. I'm going to see if I can get the EZ Lock system installed in my van now or soon as opposed to before I purchased it. I'm really surprised at how easy it is to operate independently. Having someone undo the Q'Straint straps is such a time consuming pain in the butt. Thank you for the video. Nice work, very informative.
