KEY POINTS RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION
The buggy must face forwards in the vehicle – in the direction of travel.
The buggy must be restrained with a 4-point tie-down. No other restraint
system must be used.
The occupant must be restrained by a 3-point passenger restraint.
The passenger restraint must be anchored at, or above, shoulder level.
The lap section of the passenger restraint should fit snugly over the pelvis
of the occupant, at a steep angle of application to avoid abdominal
intrusion.
Check with the vehicle converter that the vehicle floor and side wall
structures have the appropriate strength required by the restraint
manufacturers for the installation of the restraint systems.
Check that the vehicle converter has fitted the restraint system in
conjunction with the restraint manufacturer. All manufacturer’s
recommendations and guidance notes should be followed.
Check that all vehicle operators are suitably trained in the use, care and
maintenance of the restraints.
