1It is recommended that all wheelchairs be secured with four SAE J2249-compliant tiedown assemblies.

2These wheelchairs provide for anchoring of belt restraints that conform to the requirements of 4.9.2 - 4.9.5, and 5.2, and have been dynamically tested* in accordance with 5.3 and Annex A.

3
These wheelchairs were tested* using an optional wheelchair-anchored occupant restraint manufactured by Sure-Lok. The optional restraint may be purchased through Convaid.

4Convaid certifies that these wheelchairs comply with the frontal-impact performance requirements of 5.3.

5
Tested wheelchairs were stock transit models placed in a forward-facing configuration and tied down using one wheelchair securement point located on each of the four tubular legs of the wheelchair.

6
Lateral stability test results measure the degree of deflection, from a center point of the wheelchair, when the wheelchair is tilted at 45E.

7Score categories for accommodation and fit of vehicle-anchored restraints are as follows: A = 17-20 (Excellent); B = 13-16 (Good); C = 9-12 (Fair); D = 0-8 (Poor)
