We began with a simple question:

How can wheelchair passengers be safely secured in vehicles?

The question was answered by a team of specialists from Queens University in Ontario, 

Canada (hence the crown in our corporate logo). Realizing that wheelchair passengers have 

very unique safety needs, their research lead to the development of the world’s first fully 

integrated 4-point wheelchair passenger securement system.

Now a quarter of a century later, Q’Straint continues to build on a tradition of innovation and 

a reputation for excellence, by developing the world’s highest quality, most state-of-the-art 

wheelchair passenger safety solutions for both public and private transportation.
