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).
