SEATING SYSTEM/WHEELCHAIR USER
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs and seating systems, Invacare endeavors to supply
a wide variety of wheelchairs and seating systems to meet many needs of the user.
However, final selection of the type of wheelchair and seating system to be used by an
individual rests solely with the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of
making such a selection.
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT POSITIONING STRAPS
Invacare recommends that wheelchair and seating system users NOT be transported in
vehicles of any kind while in wheelchairs. As of this date, the Department of Transporta-
tion has not approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a
wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type.
It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs and seating systems should be trans-
ferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the
restraints made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recom-
mend any wheelchair transportation systems.
