Claim 18:
19. A patient transport system comprising:
a patient transport apparatus comprising a seat section and a back section for supporting the patient;
a patient containment system comprising:
an upper strap having a seat end coupled to said seat section, a back end, and a shoulder region extending between said seat end and said back end;
a lower strap having a thigh region, a waist region, and a connection region arranged between said thigh region and said waist region, wherein said connection region defines a connection width and said thigh region defines a thigh width larger than said connection width;
a connector coupled to said connection region of said lower strap; and

an anchor operatively attached to one of said patient transport apparatus and said lower strap;
a receiver shaped to releasably secure said anchor, said receiver operatively attached to the other of said patient transport apparatus and said lower strap; and
wherein said coupling system is operable between:
an engagement configuration to at least partially limit movement of said anchor relative said receiver; and
a disengagement configuration to release said anchor from said receiver;

wherein said patient transport apparatus further comprises a webbing adjuster operatively attached to said back section and shaped to receive said back end of said upper strap therethrough, said webbing adjuster being configured to releasably engage and said shoulder region of said upper strap to adjust tension in said upper strap between said webbing adjuster and said seat end;
wherein said upper strap further comprises a first magnetic element; and
wherein said patient transport apparatus further comprises a second magnetic element arranged to releasably attach to said first magnetic element to at least partially restrict movement of said upper strap relative to said patient transport apparatus in an absence of engagement occurring between said webbing adjuster and said shoulder region of said upper strap.
