SECURING THE USER
Always use the occupant restraint belts in the car for
the wheelchair user. The corrective harnesses used
in a wheelchair are not safety belts. Use both pelvic
and shoulder restraints to reduce the possibility of
head and chest impact with vehicle components.
Make sure that:
•
The 3 point safety belts sits close to the
user body
(not across the arm supports, wheels).
•
The webbing is not twisted.
•
The seat belt buckle and its release
button is positioned so that it will not be
in contacted by wheelchair components
during crash.
•
The pelvic safety belt lays tight accross
the pelvis or the upper thighs with an
angle to the seat of 30 - 70 grader, the
steeper the better.
Use Netti Cushions when Netti wheelchair is
used as a seat in a car. Avoid any air-filled or
gel cushions that can collaps in an accident.
For users taller than 1.85 m, Netti 4U BASE
cannot be used as a seat in a vehicle.
If a Netti head support is mounted correctly
it is very stable but does not replace the
need for external neck support mounted in
the car.
