NOTE: There is a 1 week lead-time on this item!





The Special Tomato Multi-Positioning Seat complete with the Footrest is a great solution for many places. The built-in Attachment Straps lets you use the Special Tomato Multi-Positioning Seating System with any chair that your child uses at home, in school, in the car, or at your favorite restaurant. This way, your child will be able to sit with everyone else, fully supported; ready to enjoy whatever activities he/she enjoys the most.

The Special Tomato Multi-Positioning Seat has been designed to offer comfortable and proper positioning support. Designed for use at home, on the bus, at school, and anywhere else your child's busy lifestyle takes them.

The soft, lightweight, and durable modular seating surface cushions allow for individualized adjustment. Seating surface modules are soft for comfort, but are supported by the seat shell to maintain position. Cushions are made from a new latex-free material that is not only soft, but is tough and durable to withstand deflating, cracking, and is impermeable to fluids.

Here's what people are saying:
"I THOUGHT THE CUSHIONS WERE HARD PLASTIC UNTIL I TOUCHED THEM! THEY'RE SO SOFT!"




The Special Tomato Multi-Positioning Seat features a size choice of a contoured Seat Cushion complete with the Hip-Flex™ adjustment that pivots 30 degrees to adjust the seat-to-back angle for proper alignment of your child's pelvis. The Tray is also angle adjustable.

Please Note: The Blue Color Shown above is no longer available as of March 2009!

Now you have your choice between two height adjustable and contoured Head Supports. If your child needs more lateral support, the Lateral Head Support is a great option to try!




The Special Tomato Multi-Positioning Seat offers years of growth for your child. This unique design allows you to make simple adjustments to the Head & Back Cushions as your child grows. In addition, there are two Seat Cushion sizes allowing you to increase the seat width and depth for an average of 7 years of growth.

The Seat Cushions use hook and loop and our track system for easy adjustment. The Hip-Flex™ adjustment provides a range of positions between 15 degrees of hip flexion and 15 degrees of hip extension without reclining the seat back. This system allows true seat back angle adjustments while maintaining upper body alignment by changing the orientation of your child's pelvis.

Built-in Attachment Straps can be used to secure the Special Tomato Multi-Positioning Seat to most standard chairs found in the home, community, or school. This makes it perfect for peer interaction, sitting outside on the deck, or dinner at your favorite neighborhood restaurant.

There is a choice of two Seat Cushion sizes allowing you to get the most growth possible out of this seating system. View the size chart to determine which size Seat Cushion will be the most appropriate for your child's needs. Make sure you select the correct one when ordering.
