My Invacare arrow put two hard plastic holes in the frame at the back for
tie downs.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Another try at a new chair-transportation

 

You are most welcome.  Another interesting consideration to ponder.  After
all these years, I have yet to see, hear or read of a wheelchair
manufacturer that certifies their electric wheelchairs, to be safe for
private or public transport.  As a retailer or DME, and they will voice that
its ok, just be careful.

Trying contacting your manufacturer (if you can) and nail them to a specific
answer and they will tell you that electric wheelchairs were designed and
made for ground transport only.  How many electric wheelchair makers exhibit
and properly mark TY-DOWN points on their chairs.

Hence, owners are left with those decisions.  Some are often forced to
choose themselves where to secure their chair for safe passage.  I'm sure
that most people will say to be careful... and you should.

 

Again and as always... safe passage.

I'm going to ask my wheelchair company about the bouncing or rocking in the
reclining position and if that is harmful to the chair.  That is a good
point, Wheelchair.  Thank you for your advice.
