TRANSPORT CHAIR USER As a manufacturer of transport chairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of transport chairs to meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the type of transport chair to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making such a selection. TRANSPORT CHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT POSITIONING STRAP Transport chair users should not be transported in vehicles of any kind while in transport chairs. As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a transport chair, in a moving vehicle of any type. It is Invacare's position that users of transport chairs should be transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the seat positioning strap made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any chair transportation systems. Transport Chairs 4 Part No.1125095
