Wheelchair Transportation
We recommend that you do not sit on your Wheelchair when in a vehicle, but transfer to a
vehicle seat. A Wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent safety level and
security as the vehicle’s seating systems.
However, when transfer is not practical or impossible, ensure the following:
1. Check that the vehicle is suitably designed, insured and equipped to transport a passenger
seated in a Wheelchair.
2. Remove any part of the Wheelchair (accessories, etc.) that can be easily detached and
store it in the vehicle’s luggage hold
3. Ensure the Wheelchair is transported in a forward facing direction. Rearward facing is only
acceptable if the passenger’s head and back can be supported by a suitable bulkhead
We recommend that the wheelchair is secured within the vehicle using the 4-point webbing
tie-down system with Karabiner.
Note: Although safety during transportation largely depends upon the diligence of the
person securing the tie-downs and passenger restraints it is the user’s responsibility to
ensure that the wheelchair has been safely secured.
