Abstract
A short wheelchair restraining strap formed from webbing is formed with a small loop at one end and a large loop at the other end. The small loop is passed around a portion of the wheelchair frame, and the large loop is then passed through the small loop. The short strap so attached then leaves the large loop end protruding from the wheelchair frame which provides an easy point of attachment for a tie-down strap. The tie-down strap is a length of webbing having two ends held to a fitting affixed to the floor of a vehicle. A length adjusting buckle is positioned in the length of webbing. The tie-down strap is looped through the large loop of the short wheelchair restraining strap.
