5-Point Harness

New 5-Point Harness Provides Safer Transportation for Children under 65 lbs!

Convaid has developed a crash-tested 5-point harness system, which will keep small children safer in their transit wheelchairs while riding in a bus or van. This 5-point harness was created for children less then 65 pounds, and is safer because it is attached to the mobility aid rather then the vehicle, providing a closer fit.

• Provides protection similar to the harness on a child safety seat
• Replaces vehicle-mounted lap/shoulder belt
• Improved fit and positioning means reduced likelihood of head strike and injury during an accident
• Better protection, particularly in rollover and side impact crashes
• Comfortable enough for all-day wear as a postural support harness
• Crash-tested to meet proposed changes to the WC19 standard
• Available on Cruiser Transit 10” and 12”, and EZ Rider & Convertible Transit 12”.

Please note: When traveling in a bus or van, it is generally safer to transfer out of the wheelchair and utilize the vehicles seat and seatbelt system.  If this is not feasible, you must secure your bus and van accessible wheelchair to the vehicle facing forward and use the Wheelchair Tiedown and Occupant Restraint System (WTORS).
