Introduction
This• Users Guide for the Stroller is designed to give guidance on its use and
maintenance.
The
• Stroller is designed to use a SOS interface system when using special seating
systems.
To
• make sure that placing a seating system in the Stroller does not render it unstable,
it is recommended that when handing the Stroller and seating system over to the client
itistestedforstabilityandaCerticateofComplianceisissuedtoverifythatthelevel
of stability is satisfactory (for more details regarding stability of wheelchair & seating
systems, see page 3).
When
• used in transport the whole system MUSTbesecurelyfastenedtotheoorof
the vehicle (WHEELCHAIR TIE DOWNS) and the vehicles safety belts (OCCUPANT
RESTRAINT)MUST be used in conjunction with the seating systems straps. (See
Guidelines for Transportation on pages 4 - 8).
The
• Stroller has been tested to and conforms to the transport requirements as
speciedinISO7176-19:2001.
The
• maintenance and safety instructions described in the manual must be adhered to.
By following these instructions you will be ensuring correct use of the Stroller and its
safety in use.
It
• is also important to read the ‘Seating System User Manual’ with regard to general
use, transportation use and maintenance.

of 12° (Fig.1).
If
• is also recommended that any
additional items to be used with the
seat and stroller are in place when the
test is done.
The
• stability test is always done with
the client seated in the seating system
and all equipment to be used by the
client on a daily basis when in the
wheelchair in situ.
Once
• the test has been successfully
completed,aStabilityCerticatewillbe
issued by Specialised Orthotic Services
Limited.Acopyofthiscerticatewill
be handed over when the equipment
is supplied and should be kept with the
user manual for future reference.
The
• Stroller is not to be used with
any other Seating System(s) than those for which it has been stability tested
and proven safe for use.
Always
• steer clear of obstacles where possible.
When
• using the equipment never attempt to climb or descend an incline where
the surface is rough, wet or slippery (gravel, loose chippings, grass, rain, ice,
snow, etc).
WARNING:
• Whilst the client is seated in the wheelchair, the attachment of any
heavy object to the wheelchair (i.e. shopping bags etc.) will have a serious effect
on the overall stability of the wheelchair and may place the safety of the client at
risk.

Recommendations for the
Transportation of SOS Strollers & Seating Systems
The following information is intended to give guidance with regard to the use of SOS
Strollers & Seating Systems by wheelchair users and carers during transportation.
Specialised• Orthotic Services Ltd have carried out extensive investigations into the
suitability of our Strollers & Special Seating Systems for transportation use and has
established clear guidelines for users.
Following• these investigations the following user information is intended to give
guidance to users of SOS Strollers & Seating Systems regarding the use of the
equipment during transportation.
As• part of the assessment process, transportation requirements will be assessed.
This information will be of interest to all parties involved in the daily management of
the wheelchair user (Relatives, Carers, Support Staff, Healthcare Professionals and
Transport Service Providers).

General Safety Guidelines for
Wheelchair User Transportation
All wheelchair users should transfer to vehicle seats whenever possible.•
The• Wheelchair is designed to be forward facing when used for transportation of the
client in an adapted motor vehicle and users should not travel with the buggy at an
angle or facing sideways to the direction of travel.
There
• shouldbesufcientfreespacearoundthewheelchairandusertoavoidthe
user making contact with other vehicle occupants, unpadded parts of the vehicle,
wheelchair accessories or W.T.O.R.S. anchor points.
It
• is important to apply brakes during transport.
Mobility
• equipment should not block gangways and exits for other passengers in the
vehicle.
A
• headrest should be provided for use when travelling in a vehicle where other seated
passengers have headrests.
Do
• not place / hang any additional items onto the wheelchair during transportation
such as shopping bags and holdalls.
Trays
• should be removed for transportation and secured separately in the vehicle or
be secured to the wheelchair but positioned away from the occupant with energy-
absorbing padding placed between the tray and the occupant.
Wheelchair Tie Down and Occupant Restraint System
(W.T.O.R.S.)
Secure methods for the safe retention of wheelchairs have been developed and are• used on a regular basis to secure wheelchairs during transportation use.
These
• systems are now commonly referred to as W.T.O.R.S.
Wheelchair Tie down and Occupant Restraint Systems
There are many types of W.T.O.R.S. available from various manufacturers, a list of• some manufacturers is given on page 8). Refer to your Seating System Manufacturers
Handbook for details of their particular recommendations.
Please
• note that all lap /chest belts and harnesses supplied with the seating system
are notsufcientforoccupantrestraintwhentheequipmentisusedonamoving
vehicle and additional Occupant Restraint is required.
1. TRANSPORTATION
When ever possible the user should be removed from the seating system and secured•
inthevehiclesxedseats.
When
• not in use for transportation the seating system & Stroller should be
disassembledandxedintheluggageareaofthevehicle.
1.1. TRANSPORTATION OF THE CLIENT SEATED IN THE STROLLER
SEATING UNIT.
Transportation• of the user with the seating system can be done when used
in conjunction with a “Wheelchair Tie down and Occupant Restraint System”
(W.T.O.R.S.). The Stroller has been tested using a 4-point tie down system.
Push
• the wheelchair into the vehicle via a ramp when ever possible.
Apply
• the rear brakes (Fig.1.1a). Please Note: The Stroller & seating system can be
safely transported at any angle of tilt as long as the seat belt can be located correctly
over the shoulder.
Attach
• the W.T.O.R.S. to the front tie down points
(Fig.1.1b).
Attach
• the W.T.O.R.S. to the rear tie down points
(Fig.1.1c).
Attach
• apermanentlyxedvehicleseatbelt
around the client and wheelchair.
Please
• refer to the W.T.O.R.S. manufacturers
handbook for correct tting and adjustment
for both the client and passengers safety.
Never
• move the vehicle without applying:

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
• theSeatingSystemspeciedforusewiththeStrollercanbeused.
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).

1.4. STOWAGE OF THE STROLLER AND SEATING SYSTEM
During• use of your Special Seating System it may be necessary for you to remove the
Seating System and stow this along with the Stroller in a vehicle.
It
• is important to realise that these items pose a risk if not adequately restrained
whilst in transit.
It
• is notadequatetosimplyplacetheitemsintoacarbootortheoorofanopen
vehicle such as an MPV or estate car as in a collision these unsecured items could
cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Various
• retention methods are available to secure such equipment during transit, and
once again the list of Wheelchair Restraint System Manufacturers in this booklet will
be happy to advise on this matter (see below).
