Use of Vicair seat cushions in motor vehicles
Whenever possible, transfer out of the
wheelchair and into a car manufacturer-
installed vehicle seat without the cushion, and
use the vehicle's crash-tested occupant restraint
system.
As an alternative for your Vicair wheelchair
cushion, the Vicair Allrounder O2 (which can be
fastened to the user's body) can be used if you
require additional protection in a manufacturer-
installed vehicle seat during transportation.
When the wheelchair is used as the vehicle
seat, the applicable rules and regulations with
regard to securing the wheelchair and the
wheelchair user during transport should be
followed.
There is no data available about the influence
on safety of a Vicair wheelchair cushion used in
a crash-tested wheelchair.
