* Note: According to the ANSI/RESNA Standard, WC19-Wheelchairs Used as Seats in Motor Vehicles, a WC19-compliant wheelchair should now have a crash-tested, wheelchair anchored pelvic safety belt. When WC19 was passed in 2000, it included a 2-year “grace period” to allow manufacturers time to develop and integrate pelvic safety belts into their crash-tested wheelchairs. This “grace period” ended in 2002.

Wheelchairs that are available with crash-tested, wheelchair anchored, pelvic safety belts fully comply with the ANSI/RESNA WC19 standard. Wheelchair anchored pelvic safety belts facilitate proper belt placement (on the pelvis and not over the soft tissue of the abdomen) by eliminating the need to route a vehicle-anchored belt around the components of the wheelchair.

Wheelchairs that have been crash tested without wheelchair anchored pelvic safety belts, while they do not fully comply with the standard, meet some requirements of the standard and reduce the risk of injury when the wheelchair is used as a seat in a vehicle.

The majority of wheelchair pelvic belts are not crash tested and should not be used as occupant restraints unless labeled suitable for use as a safety belt in a vehicle.
