Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers about Wheelchair Belts and Harnesses from BES Healthcare, with practical information on product features, suitability and available options.
No. Positioning belts and harnesses are for posture. They aren't vehicle seatbelts or restraints, and they don't replace a crash-tested occupant restraint when a wheelchair user travels in a vehicle. Check the instructions for the belt, the wheelchair and the vehicle restraint system before travel.
A pelvic belt positions the pelvis, which is the base of seated posture. A chest or shoulder harness supports the trunk higher up. They do different jobs and are often used together.
Look at the person's posture, body shape, movement and what they need to do in the chair, then at the wheelchair it's going on. Size, strap angle and mounting position matter as much as the harness style, so have it fitted and adjusted by someone trained.
Most Bodypoint belts and harnesses fit a wide range of wheelchairs and seating systems with the right mounting hardware. Bodypoint makes a Belt Mounting Hardware Kit for this. Check the mounting position on the actual chair before ordering.
