INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing your new Convaid transit wheelchair, proven

safer for use as seating aboard a motor vehicle. This guide includes important

information regarding the use of your transit wheelchair. Please read it

carefully and keep it for future reference.

When riding aboard a motor vehicle, it is preferred that the wheelchair user

transfer from the wheelchair into the vehicle manufacturer’s seat and use a

federally approved, crash-tested restraint system. However, it may be

undesirable for some wheelchair users to transfer to the seat provided by the

motor vehicle manufacturer. In these cases, Convaid transit wheelchairs offer

a safe alternative.

All Convaid transit wheelchairs comply with a newly developed transit

wheelchair standard that requires wheelchairs to be dynamically crash tested.

(Largest and smallest sizes of each model have been crash-tested at a leading

U.S. university; intermediate sizes may be certified to standard by Convaid.)

Proper use of your Convaid transit wheelchair will significantly reduce the

likelihood of injury in the event of a motor-vehicle accident.

This guide provides instructions on how to correctly secure your Convaid

wheelchair to the bus or van and safely restrain the wheelchair occupant.

When selecting a wheelchair, choose the size in accordance with the

occupant’s weight as shown in the following table.
