Transport

The wheelchair can be placed in a car.
The best way to do this is by reducing
the wheelchair or using steel ramps.
movingpeople.net recommends
wheelchair users to travel in a regular
car seat whenever possible. A
wheelchair is not designed as a car
seat and cannot offer the level of
safety that is offered by standard car
seats, no matter how well the
wheelchair is fixed to the vehicle
concerned. As it is not possible for
every wheelchair user to make a
transfer, the wheelchair should be
secured as described below.
•
The Beatle/Puma has been
crash tested and has met all
pass requirements of
ISO7176 part 19.
•
You should always ask for
confirmation from the
transporter that the vehicle is
suitably designed, insured
and equipped to transport a
passenger in a wheelchair.
•
Parts of the wheelchair that
can be easily detached
(accessories) should be
removed and stored
elsewhere during
transportation.
•
The wheelchair should
always be transported in a
forward facing direction.

•
The wheelchair should be
secured only at the tie-down
points on the frame, not onto
other parts of the wheelchair
or onto any accessories
(armrests, anti-tip brackets
etc).
•
movingpeople.net
recommends that the
wheelchair should be
supplied with a headrest and
that this should be used
during transportation.
•
During transportation it is
essential that you are
secured by a three point lap
belt, which is anchored to the
vehicle wall and floor rails. A
lap belt in your wheelchair
must not be considered as an
alternative to the occupant
restraint system.
