1.2. WHEELCHAIR TIE DOWN SYSTEM

• 

Wheelchair users should not travel in cars, taxis or minibuses, unless the 

wheelchair is tied down.

Please

• 

 refer to your Stroller & Seating System users guides for information regarding 

the recommended wheelchair tie down system to be used.

Only

• 

 the Seating System specified for use with the Stroller can be used.

1.3. OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM

Wheelchair

• 

 users should not travel in cars, taxis or minibuses, unless an 

occupant restraint system is in place on the client.

For

• 

 any client to be transported safely in the Seating System and Stroller, it is essential 

that an Occupant Restraint System be used.

SOS

• 

 have proven during crash tests on Strollers 

(Fig.1.3a) that transporting any client on a moving 
vehicle without an approved occupant restraint 
system is extremely dangerous and will place 

THE CLIENT AT GREAT RISK

.

It

• 

 is important that the Occupant Restraint 

System is positioned correctly as most clients 
using Special Seating will be dependent on 
carers for correct placement of the occupant 
restraint.

Consideration

• 

 should be given to the most 

suitable type and positioning of restraint for the 
user, both in normal travel and during an impact.

The

• 

 Occupant Restraint should have a clear 

path from the user to the anchor point 
(Fig.1.3b), and should not be held 
away from the body and should not 
be interfered with by any part of the 
vehicle, Stroller, seating or accessory 
(Fig.1.3c).
