Pelvic Positioning Belts
WARNING: Positioning belts should never be used as a safety restraint device
in a motor vehicle when transporting chair with occupant. An additional
WC-4-19 compliant automotive type seat belt is required when the chair is used
in transport vehicles.
WARNING: Positioning belts and harnesses should only be installed by a
Convaid provider or healthcare practitioner.
Make sure the occupant does not slide down in the wheelchair seat.
1. Feet must be planted on footplate and securely anchored to prevent sliding forward off seat, in
conjunction with using appropriate pelvic positioning belt. Position client as directed by healthcare
practitioner. The belts must be snug, but not too tight. You should be able to slide your open hand,
at between the belt and the occupant.
