We have found a nice, reasonably priced, used van that is going out to be converted for rear-entry wheelchair accessibility. They normally use the "QRT Standard Q-straint", which appears to be a basic Q-straint system. I am thinking I should at least upgrade to the Q-straint MAX or deluxe systems, which appear to be less work for the caregiver.
What system do you have, is it user friendly, do you recommend it or what don't you like about it? I inquired about the drive in docking systems but am thinking this may be overkill? As I understand it, these docking systems were designed to allow wheelchair drivers to easily click into a system independently and drive. My husband will not be driving, so I'm on the fence about the docking system. That said, we will obviously require a tie-down system that can safely control a 500# Permobil and passenger. TY
