7.3 The wheelchair as seat in a
vehicle
The Alex is successfully crash tested
according to ISO 7176-19. Even so, a
wheelchair is not designed as a car seat
and cannot offer the same degree of
safety that is offered by standard car
seats. Sunrise Medical recommends that
wheelchair users transfer to a regular car
seat if possible.
It’s not possible for every wheelchair
user to make a transfer. To optimize the
safety of the wheelchair user and other
passengers in the vehicle. Follow all the
instructions and warnings carefully!
• Always ask for confirmation of the
transporter that the vehicle is suitably
designed, insured and equipped to
transport a person a person in a
wheelchair.
Fixating the wheelchair
• To tie down the wheelchair for
transport in the vehicle, follow the
instructions of chapter 7.1.
• When the wheelchair is equipped
with a table top this needs to be
removed during transport. Store
these parts securely.
• All adjustment options of the seating
system need to be in the ‘neutral’
position (Ch. 3.4).
• Sunrise Medical recommends that
the wheelchair is always equipped
with a headrest and that this is used
during transport when the wheelchair
is used as a carseat.
• Any accessories on the wheelchair
need to be removed and need to be
stored securily..
7.4 Securing the occupant
• Use a three-point occupant restraint
system to secure the occupant of the
wheelchair on the pelvis/hips and
shoulder. This three-point safety belt
must be secured to the roof and the
floor of the vehicle (fig.7.2).
• Position the belt across the hips as
tightly as possible at an angle
between 30° and 75°.
• The other part of the belt is
positioned to sit across the chest and
shoulder (fig. 7.2).
• The seat belt should fit as tightly as
possible and must not be twisted.
• Ensure that the seat belt is not
obstructed from having contact with
the body by wheelchair parts, such
as armrests or wheels.
• When the wheelchair is equipped
with positioning belts: these should
nerver be used as safety belts.
• Care should be taken when applying
the occupant restraint to position the
seatbelt buckle so that the release
button will not be contacted by
wheelchair components during crash.
