Transporting
The Swifty can be folded for transport in the luggage area of a vehicle.
The Swifty has been successfully impact tested against international standard
ISO 7176/19 and ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol.1 – Section 19 6/22/99 Draft and may be used
as a vehicle seat.
IMPORTANT: When used as a vehicle seat the following instructions
must be followed.
Preparing the Swifty for transport:
1. Remove the following (if fitted); pommel, play tray, rain hood, sun canopy, grip rail,
accessory bag and shopping basket contents.
2. Position the pushchair correctly in the vehicle over the floor track with the front of
the pushchair facing towards the front of the vehicle (in the direction of travel). Put
the brakes on.
3. Always ensure that the seat of the pushchair is in the most upright position (not
reclined).
Securing the Swifty in a Vehicle:
1. The pushchair
must
be secured in a
vehicle using a 4-point tie down system that
complies with either ISO 10542 Part 2, SAE
2249 or DIN 75078/2. (Such restraints are
manufactured by Unwin Safety Systems and
Q’Straint)
2. Vehicle operators and/or assistants should
be fully trained in the use of wheelchair
tiedown and occupant restraint systems.

each front castor mounting boss as shown
in fig. 2.

the two securement points located on each
