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 Regulation 44 compliant child restraint system (CRS).
This type of r estraint system provides a more effective occupant
restraint system than the conventional 3 point occupant
restraint system and some CRS systems also include additional
postural supports to assist in maintaining the position of the
child when seated.
Parents or care providers may consider the option, 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.
