Special Tomato MPS Car Seating System


Infant and child car seats are standard equipment for all parents.  Before a child can be released from the hospital, parents are required by law to have a properly-installed car seat when taking their precious cargo home.  As a child grows, parents must buy larger car seats in order to provide the best protection for their child.  If a child has developmental delays or other conditions such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis, often parents need car seats with more support and better technology to suit the special needs of their children when transporting them.

The Special Tomato MPS Car Seating System offered by Rehabmart is the perfect solution for families with special needs children. This car seat was specially designed to surround your child in safety and comfort.  Its cushions are made from a new water-proof latex-free material that is not only soft, but is tough and durable enough to withstand deflating and cracking.  Available in chocolate, lilac or aqua, these seats have the ability to maintain position while allowing for flexibility and adjustments as a child grows. The cushions move up and down on a hook and loop track allowing for growth of your child and extend the use of the seat. The Special Tomato MPS Car Seat also features a special Hip-Flex™ adjustment that provides 30 degrees of pivot which enables the proper alignment of your child's pelvis. Specially designed headrests (required but must be purchased separately) offer two options: standard or standard with lateral support.


While comfort and flexibility are key, the utmost attention to safety makes the Special Tomato MPS Car Seat the right choice for parents and children alike. This car seat fully complies with US federal safety standards and is easily installed with the LATCH System. LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children.  LATCH is a way to secure a child safety seat to the vehicle using straps from the child safety seat that connect to special metal anchors in the vehicle. The Secial Tomato MPS Car Seating System has also been successfully tested and approved for aircraft travel (FAA approved).

The Special Tomato Company was created from the vision of an industrial designer in upstate New York who saw a void in the marketplace when it came time to finding the right equipment for his special needs daughter.  He set out to manufacture a special material that offered comfort while being used in therapy or for long periods of time. Through trial and error, Special Tomato's founder created a new Soft-Touch® material which is peel and tear resistant with special anti-microbial protection.
So much of our lives are spent running from place to place in this fast-paced world. While it's important to stay engaged and active, details such as safety and support should not be forgotten when transporting our loved ones. The Special Tomato MPS Car Seating System provides the ideal combination of flexibility and safety and will wrap your special needs child in softness, support and comfort for years to come.
