Reply To: Boston/San Antonio with Power Chair on Southwest
I will let everyone know how I make out for sure. 🙂 I leave the end of the week!
I do have another question though. I’ve done searches with no luck. Does anyone have a diagram of heavy power wheelchair and where the best places to lift the chair from would be. For example: Would the four points that the tied downs use be strong enough? Can they lift from the bar at the back of the chair or under the seat?
I did see that directions say the frame…I’m sure they will know where exactly that is since I am not clear on that either .
Thank you all for your insights.
