Fitting the occupant restraint system:
1. The pushchair passenger must be restrained using an approved vehicle
safety belt. Thomashilfen recommends the use of either a split reel double
inertia seat belt or a 3-point occupant restraint system. (Such restraints are
manufactured by Unwin Safety Systems and Q’Straint)
2. Vehicle operators and/or assistants should be fully trained in the use of
wheelchair tie-downs and occupant restraint systems.
3. The occupant lap belt must be routed low over the pelvis, avoiding contact
with the abdomen of the passenger. Lap belt routing should be inside of
the occupant side pad on both left and right sides of the pushchair, as shown
in fig. C.
4. The occupant lap belt should be tightened to make a snug fit without causing
discomfort to the passenger.
5. If the pushchair is fitted with a harness, this should only be fastened after the
occupant restraint system.
6. The shoulder belt of the occupant restraint system must be fitted to the
side wall of the vehicle at a height that ensures the seat belt webbing lays in
the middle of the occupants shoulder.
NOTE: To meet current regulations only a shoulder belt fitted to the side wall of
the vehicle should be used to correctly restrain the occupant.
