I know you were discussing tiedowns for transportation to school. But
recently I was at a workshop on transportation 
and they said that the safest way to transport a person who uses a
wheelchair is for that person to transfer to the vehicles seat and use the
vehicles restraint, and for a small child that would be an approved car seat
that is properly attached.  This makes me fee better for my decision not to
make my van a W/C van with tie downs  ( cant afford the $18000.00 LOL)  



Don't fight with dragons, for you are crunchy and good with Ketchup.
