Caution
The webbing should be checked regularly for signs of wear or fraying. Nicks greater than 1mm necessitates replacement. The product must be replaced immediately after it has been worn during a collision. No restraint system is considered safe to use with the occupant of a scooter travelling while sitting in the scooter. The occupant must transfer to a normal vehicle seat for the journey.
As the restraint system is comprised of webbing straps and locking devices, it is essential the restraint is placed in storage when not in use, as it can be damaged if run over by a wheelchair or walked on.

Additional Comment
When purchasing a vehicle wheelchair restraint, consider also other vehicles in which the person may travel in their wheelchair (eg taxis, school bus etc.). This may influence the choice of restraint which is chosen for the family / individual's vehicle, as not all restraint fittings or modifications that are required on a wheelchair are compatible with all restraint systems. A video, which describes Q'Straint Restraint Systems for vehicles, is available for viewing at the Independent Living Centre of WA. This video is not for loan or sale.
