Abstract: A combination carrier adapted to be mounted at a rear of a vehicle consists of an upper frame and a lower frame interconnected by a transverse connecting element. The upper frame is formed by first and second upper arms. The lower frame is formed by first and second lower arms. The first upper arm, the first lower arm; the second upper arm and the second lower arm are pivotably connected to each other at respective first and second hubs. A proximal support assembly is movably arranged at the first hub at the junction between the first upper arm and the first lower arm. The distal support assembly is movably arranged at the second hub at the junction between the second upper arm and the second lower arm.

Abstract: A safety restraint system to restrain a wheelchair-seated person in a vehicle includes a belt including a pelvic restraining portion connectable between a first side and an second side. The system also includes a structural system to maintain the pelvic restraining portion at a sufficient height when the pelvic restraining portion is connected between the first side and the second side of the vehicle to allow the wheelchair-seated person to move the wheelchair forward to be restrained by the pelvic restraining portion. The structural system can, for example, maintain the pelvic restraining portion above the each of knees of the wheelchair-seated person.
