WHEELCHAIR USER
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of

wheelchairs to meet many needs of the end 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 RESTRAINTS
Wheelchair users should 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 transportation systems.
