The wheelchair using the captain seat cannot be used as seats in any vehicles. That is, KARMA
recommends that users are NOT transported in any vehicle while seated in the wheelchair. In the
case of accident or a sudden stop, the user could be thrown from the wheelchair and get injured.
The suggested solution is to transfer the user from the wheelchair into a normal seat of the
vehicle and to securely stow the wheelchair in a separate compartment. The Morgan with sling
seat however, has been successfully tested according to the ISO 7176-19-2008 crash test, using
both 4 point tie down and Dahl docking station.
