N. TRANSIT OPTION AND USE
NOTE: The Zippie Voyage has passed transit testing and is
considered to be ISO 7176-19 compliant for a dependent
child weighing at least 22 kg and up to 34 kg. In transit,
the occupant must be secured within the vehicle and
anchored with a 3 point harness, with transit straps
secured to the front and rear transit loops (A) (B).
WARNING
USER WEIGHT LESS THAN 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 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 attendant and relevant
competent persons.
