Need a system to lock a handicap chair in a van

wheelchair docking system. My son has a special built chair that reclines.....he is in a coma and needs this special chair.  No one will sell us a locking stystem to take him in the van as they have only been tested by using a wheel chair.  We presently have an easy lock system and have had it for 8 yrs.  But they say now the laws have changed and we can not get a new one for our new van.  How sad that people who do not have to deal with handicap situations make the laws.  Without the easy lock we will have to use tie downs and they are not safe.  Can anyone help us?

You can fabricate a locking system inexpensively using seat belts purchased from an auto salvage yard.  Check with your local ordinance to see if this is permissible.  Seat belts are super strong, and our local mass transit buses use them to hold handicapper's wheelchair in place.
