The best way to do this is by reducing
the wheelchair or using steel ramps.
Handicare recommends wheelchair
users to travel in a regular car seat
whenever possible. A wheelchair
cannot offer the level of safety that is
offered by standard car seats, no
Operating instructions
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 Ibis X-Series has been crash
tested and has met all the pass
requirements of ISO 7176-19.

wheelchair is secured as safely
as possible.

person in a wheelchair.

removed and stored elsewhere
