Abstract

A restraint for restraining a wheelchair occupant in a motor vehicle comprises a vehicle seat (1), the seat having a removable squab (33) and a back-rest (26) which can be moved from a rear-most position on an underlying support structure to a forward-most position when the squab (33) has been removed. With the back-rest (26) in the rear-most position and the squab in place, the seat may be used as a conventional seat. With the squab (33) removed and the seat-back (26) moved to its forward-most position, a wheelchair (70) may be held in position adjacent the seat-back by means of straps (57), and a safety-belt (31) provided on the seat-back may be used by the occupant of the wheelchair.
