Frequently Asked Questions

• What does crash tested mean for wheelchairs?
  A crash tested wheelchair has been tested to ISO 7176-19 standards, which means it can be safely used as a seat while travelling in a vehicle. These chairs have reinforced frames and designated tie-down points where restraints can be secured. This allows wheelchair users to stay in their chair during transport rather than transferring to a vehicle seat.
• Can I use any wheelchair in a vehicle?
  No, only wheelchairs that have passed crash testing should be used as a seat during vehicle transport. Standard wheelchairs are not designed to withstand the forces involved in sudden braking or a collision. If your wheelchair is not crash tested, you will need to transfer to a proper vehicle seat and secure the wheelchair separately.
• What vehicles can I use a crash tested wheelchair in?
  Crash tested wheelchairs can be used in accessible vehicles, wheelchair accessible taxis, community transport minibuses and specially adapted cars. The vehicle must have proper floor-mounted tie-down points and a suitable restraint system. Most accessible transport providers will ask if your wheelchair is crash tested before allowing you to travel while seated in it.
• Are crash tested wheelchairs heavier than standard wheelchairs?
  Not necessarily. While crash tested wheelchairs have reinforced frames, many are still lightweight and easy to fold. Weight varies by model, so check the product details if portability is important to you.
