Stowage of the Seating System and Wheelchair

During use of your Special Seating System it may be necessary for you to remove the 

• 

Seating System and stow this along with the wheelchair in a vehicle.

It

• 

 is 

important

 to realise that these items pose a 

risk

 if not adequately restrained 

whilst in transit.

It

• 

 is 

not

 adequate to simply place the items into a car boot or the floor of an open 

vehicle such as an MPV or estate car as in a collision these unsecured items could 
cause

serious injury

 to occupants of the vehicle.

Various

• 

 retention methods are available to secure such equipment during transit, and 

a list of Wheelchair Restraint System Manufacturers are listed below.

Stability of Buggy/Wheelchair and Seating Systems (Cont.)

WARNING:

• 

 Whilst the client is seated in the seating system, the attachment of 

any heavy object to the wheelbase (i.e. shopping bags etc.) will have a serious 
effect on the overall stability of the wheelbase and may place the safety of the 
client at risk.
