12. Transport
12.1 Transporting the
wheelchair
To make the wheelchair as convenient as possible to trans-
port, all detachable parts (footrests, wheels, slot-in acces-
sories) must be removed and the wheelchair folded.
12.2 Seat in disabled
vehicle
You can check whether your wheelchair is licensed as a
seat in a disabled vehicle by the symbols on the frame (Fig.
A and Fig. B).
All wheelchairs authorised by B+B as seats for use in
vehicle are tested to ISO 7176-19: 2008.
• The securement points are marked with a symbol (Fig.
A). Other attachment points are not authorised by the
manufacturer.
•Where possible, use a fixed fitted car seat and its seat-
belt system. Stow the folded wheelchair in the boot.
•The person responsible for transportation should be
familiar with the current regulations on transportation
and use of the disabled vehicle and restraint system.
• 4-point restraint systems anchored to the vehicle must
be used to restrain the wheelchair.
