The Special Tomato
TM
Multi-Positioning Seat is designed to provide proper positioning in sitting
for children and young adults with special needs. This child restraint system conforms to all ap-
plicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS). However, the FMVSS #213 addresses
child re-straints for children up to 65 pounds (29 kilograms). For children and young adults over 65
pounds, the vehicle belt is typically sufficient for restraint. For those children and young adults over
65 pounds that need positioning support to maintain a sitting position in a vehicle, the Small and
Large Special Tomato
TM
Multi-Positioning Seats were designed and tested in the spirit and intent
of FMVSS #213. With proper installation and use, the Small & Large Special Tomato

Multi-Posi-
tioning Seats provide a safe positioning system for your child or young adult.
