WARNINGS!
When the user being transported is a child, less than
22Kg 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 restraint 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.
