7.2 The wheelchair as a passenger seat

A wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the

equivalent level of safety and security as a vehicle seang

system. Sunrise Medical recommends that the user transfers

to the vehicle seang and uses the vehicle-installed restraint

system wherever possible. Sunrise Medical recognizes that it is

not always praccal for the user to be transferred and in these

circumstances, where the user must be transported whilst in

the wheelchair, the following advice must be followed:

DANGER!

• The safety of the user during transportaon depends upon

the diligence of the person securing the e down restraints

and they should have received appropriate instrucons and/

or training in their use.

• Wherever possible remove and stow safely away from the

wheelchair all auxiliary equipment, e.g. : crutches, loose

cushions, tray tables, etc.

i. Removed and secured separately in the vehicle, or

ii. Secured to the wheelchair, but with energy-absorbing

padding placed between the table and the user.

• Arculang/elevang leg rest should not be used in the

elevated posion when the wheelchair and user are being

transported.

• If applicable: Reclining backrests should be returned to an

upright posion.

• If applicable: Seat elevators should be in the lowest posion.

• If applicable: The manual brakes must be rmly applied.

Occupant restraint Instrucon

DANGER!

• Use a 3-point occupant restraint system to secure the

occupant.

• Both pelvic and upper torso restraint belts must be used to

restrain the occupant to reduce the possibility of head and

chest impacts with the vehicle components.

• Restraints should be mounted to the appropriate vehicle

pillar and should not be held away from the body by

wheelchair components such as armrest or wheels (Fig. 7.4).

• Use a suitable posioned headrest when being transported

in a wheelchair.

• Postural supports (lap straps, lap belts) should not be used

or relied on for occupant restraint in a moving vehicle unless

they are labelled as meeng the requirements specied in

ISO 7176-19:2008 or SAE J2249.

Posioning the occupant restraint

DANGER!

• The pelvic restraint belt must be worn low across the front

of the pelvis so that the angle of the pelvic belt is within the

preferred zone of 30° to 75° to the horizontal.

• A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is desirable

i.e. closer to, but never exceeding 75° degrees (Fig. 7.5).

i. The upper torso restraint belt must t over the shoulder and

across the chest as illustrated (Fig. 7.5). Restraint belts must

be adjusted as ghtly as possible consistent with user comfort.

• Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in use.

• Care should be taken when applying the occupant restraint to

posion the seatbelt buckle so that the release buon will not

be contacted by wheelchair components during a crash.

Passenger with a user weight < 22 kg.

When the user being transported is a child, less than 22 kg

mass and the vehicle involved has less than eight (8) seated

passengers it is recommended that they be transferred to an

UNCE Regulaon 44 compliant child restraint system (CRS).

This type of r estraint system provides a more eecve occupant

restraint system than the convenonal 3 point occupant

restraint system and some CRS systems also include addional

postural supports to assist in maintaining the posion of the

child when seated.

Parents or care providers may consider the opon, in some

circumstances, for their child is to remain in their wheelchair

whilst in transport due to the level of posture control and

comfort provided by the set up in the wheelchair.

We would recommend in such circumstances that a risk

assessment be carried out by your healthcare professional and

relevant competent persons.
