using the wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle 

 

This Enigma wheelchair has been tested to Wheelchair Crash Test standard 
ISO  7176/19  using  restraints  from  Q-Straint.  Wherever  possible  the 
wheelchair  user  should  use  the  vehicle’s  fitted  seats  and  the  wheelchair 
should be folded away and placed safely in the luggage compartment of the 
vehicle or restrained. 

If  it  is  not  feasible  to  transfer  to  the  vehicle’s  seat  then  the  Enigma 
wheelchair  may  be  used  as  a  chair  whilst  the  vehicle  is  moving  with  the 
necessary restraints and with the wheelchair facing the front of the vehicle. 
Drive Medical recommends that the following types of restraints be used: 

a)

 

Buckle  and  tongue  or  standard  hook  restraints  for  the  front  of  the 
wheelchair, 

b)

 

‘J’ restraints for the rear of the wheelchair, 

c)

 

3-point harness for the user restraint. 
The  lap  belt  should  be  worn  across  the  front  of  the  pelvis,  with  the 
webbing fed between the back posts and armrest. 

The upper torso belt should be worn over the shoulder. The belt should be 
worn as firm as possible without being uncomfortable. Ensure the webbing is 
not twisted. For more information on restraints please contact Drive Medical. 
Below is a diagram illustrating the recommended positions for the restraints. 
The securement points for the restraints are marked on the wheelchair using 
the symbol (below right).
