11.11 Carrying
The wheelchair has been designed to be easily carried. Once the armrest and the footrest are re-
moved, can be closed and easily positioned in the car boot, for example. If this can't be possible,
position the wheelchair in front of the car rear seat so that it is stable and cannot slip or slide. Lock
the wheelchair with the seatbelt.
