Which one to go for?

Hi all. Any have a recommendation on changing our Motability WAV? Currently we have a short wheelbase Berlingo and we are due to exchange and was wondering what others upgraded too?
The nice thing about our Berlingo is that we can bring our son to almost level with the backseat, but problem is that in order to do so we have to lift the rear seat and then put it it on top of one of the front wheels (which doesn't do either any good). The securing clamp for the seat gets in the way preventing us from rolling underneath the seat.
We don't use the standard run of the mill wheelchair (that would be too easy!) We use the R82 Kudu so it has a wide front arms which make it wider than the rear... (for Stability apparently).
Anyone else had similar issues?

You can also have some sort of assessment where they come out and recommend the type of vehicle and adaptions that would be best suited

Just trying to see if anyone has had any preference if they went from one Wav to another. But yeah I think I will have to try and phone around. assesments at the moment seem to be on hold except for phone assesments. My wife insists that we get a small wav, in leaning to a medium because our sons chair will get bigger and heavier. She is nervous about driving a bigger vehicle.
Please do let us know how you get on.
