I personally would be a bit leery of using a chest clip if she's going to be ffing (I'm worried it would end up at throat level if she submarines at all) but other than that you really don't have to do anything special except avoid OHS, which you would do anyway.

The vent (and any other equipment that travels with her) will also need to be secured somehow, preferably on the floor of the vehicle. I assume she will also travel with a suction machine, O2, etc.
