Wheelchair?

A friend of mine asked me if I thought a wheelchair would fit in the back of a Vibe without folding down the rear seats. Since I haven't tried to put one in mine I thought I'd ask if anyone here has.His parents are looking for another car, but didn't want to get a mini-van.

A folding wheelchair? I would certainly think so, but I can't swear to it, I never tried.

Yeah, I still think it would...a standard one anyway...a motorized one I couldn't say...Couldn't they just pop by a dealer and check it out for themselves?

The idea is to keep a folded down wheelchair in the back. His mom isn't very mobile and needs the chair, and his dad presumably would be the driver.As for why they haven't tried to put a wheelchair into a Vibe, they're just starting to get information on hand.
