WHEELCHAIR USER
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of wheel-
chairs to meet many needs of the user. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair
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 users NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind
while in wheelchairs. As of this date, the Department of Transportation 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 should be transferred 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 recommend any wheelchair transporta-
tion systems.
