CONVAIDTRANSIT GUIDE

Wheelchairs Used as Seating in

Motor Vehicles

Before attempting to use your Convaid transit wheelchair as a seat in a motor

vehicle, please take a moment to become familiar with some fundamental

principles of occupant safety:

 Most serious or fatal injuries occur during frontal-impact crashes.

 The primary cause of injury to motor-vehicle occupants in frontal

crashes is a lack of effective occupant restraint, which results in

contact with the vehicle’s interior components or objects and

structures outside the vehicle.

 Effective protection of occupants in frontal impacts requires the use

of upper- and lower-torso belt restraints that comply with federal

safety standards and WC19. The lower-torso belt restraint should be

positioned snugly across the pelvis and the upper-torso belt restraint

should be positioned snugly over the shoulder and chest. Belt

restraints used in this manner also greatly reduce the likelihood of

injury during vehicle rollovers.

 For belt restraints to be effective, the wheelchair must be effectively

secured to the motor vehicle, and the belt restraints must remain in

position on skeletal portions of the body and not place undue stress

on the abdomen.

ANSI/RESNA WC19

For a wheelchair to provide safe seating in a motor vehicle, it is essential that

it comply with the safety standard known as Section 19 ANSI/RESNA

WC/Volume 1, Wheelchairs Used as Seats in Motor Vehicles, or “WC19.”

Convaid’s transit wheelchairs comply with this new voluntary transit

wheelchair standard and have been dynamically tested according to the
