Q. How hard is it to safely secure the wheelchair to the floor of the vehicle?
A. There are 3 types of docking systems to secure the wheelchair.
- Straps - are anchored to the floor of the vehicle and are manually attached to the wheelchair. Four straps are included with each conversion.
- Retractable - straps which also are anchored to the floor of the vehicle and are manually attached to the wheelchair. The straps are extended and attached to the wheelchair and then retract to tighten and secure.
- Floor locking system - a base is mounted to the floor of the vehicle, the wheelchair drives into the base and locks into place. Once you have reached your destination, the wheelchair is easily released with the touch of a button.
