Do FOR USE Model #2000 IMPORTANT: Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow each of the following instructions can result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash. Your Columbia seat is suitable for children up to GO” (152 cm) in height and meets and exceeds the requirements of FMVSS #213. This requirement is the U.S. Federal standard for car seats for children up to three years old, and requires crash tests with a 35 lb (I G kg) test dummy at a 30 mph (48 kph) impact. Ahhough Federal standards have not been established for heavier body weights, Columbia seats have been crash tested and successfully withstood impacts using a 102 lb (46.3 kg) test dummy at 30 mph (48 kpb). Your Columbia seat also meets and exceeds the requirements CMVSS 213.3, the Canadian car seat standard. Canadian consumers should carefully read the supplemental instruction sbcot attached to the car seat harness. Canadian consumers of must use the supplemental tether strap regardless of the occupmnt’s weight, as described in the supplemental sheet. WARNINGS: * Your Columbia seat is designed to tit a wide range of children. To insure a proper tit for your own child, it is important that your seat be correctly set up and installed before using il for the first time. * The Columbia car seat must not be used with: +r Vehicle seats that face to the side or rear; i”i Vehicle seats with backs that can fold forward in a crash or sudden stop. Some seat backs automatically lock in an emergency. Cheek your owner’s manual or with your dealer if you’re not sure; -fi Seating positions with belts that automatically surround the passenger as the door is closed; si- Seating positions with emergency-locking seat belts. Set the section below on seat belts to determine your vehicle’s seat belts may be used which of Sr For children between 65 and 102 pounds (29.5 kg and 46.3 kg), your Columbia seat must be secured with both your vchiclc’s seat belt and the included tether strap. * To mnintain its safety, if your seat or harness becomes badly worn or damaged, or if your seat is involved in an accident, regardless of speed and regardless how minor, your Columbia seat may no longer be effective and should immediately be replaced. * Metal tabs, etc., can become hot inside a closed automobile in Ux sun. To protect your child, check that the metal parts are not too hot before putting your child in your seat. If you park in UK sun, covering your seat with a blanket, towel, etc., will help keep the metal parts from heating up. * Heavy, loose objects are dangerous in your vehicle. Always have your Columbia seat sccurcd with your vehicle’s seat belt, not try to use the harness independently of your seat. * The Federal government recommends that children under twelve years of age ride in the rear seat. The center of the rear auto seat is the safest seating position in most vehicles, fOllOWXl by the passenger-side rear seat, and then the driver-side rear seat. Use the center rear seat whenever possible. Make sure thal the front seats are far enough away from your Columbia seat lo minimize. the risk of your child striking them in an accident. * Never leave your child unattended in your automobile. WHERE TO INSTALL Passive restraints: YOUR SEAT seatbelts and airbags Your Columbia car seat cannot be used in seals that have “passive restraint”-type seat belts, such as any kind of selflocking seat belt that the passenger does not have to fasten themselves. For example, some vehicles have shoulder belts that slide into place automatically when the passenger closes the door, and then slide out of the way automatically when the passenger opens the door. Because the seat belt tension cannot be properly controlled, your Columbia car seat must not be used with this kind of passive restraint, or any other kind of passive restraint system. Your Columbia seat must not be used in seats protected by airbags, unless your vehicle has a swilch to turn the airbag off Passenger-side airbags can cause serious injury or death to children in safety seats, Placement Of Your Columbia Vehicle’s Seat Seat In Your If the lip of your Columbia seat projects more than one inch over the edge of your vehicle’s seat bench, then the seat bench is too shallow, and your Columbia seat must not be installed in that seating position. Seat belts Your Columbia seat is designed for use only with certain kinds of lap or combination shoulder/lap belts. Read the section below on seat belts to determine which of your vehicle’s seat belts are suitable. Lq) Belts Lap belts that have no retractor, but rely on the passenger to pull on the free end of the belt to set the lap belt to the proper tension can be used to secure your Colmnbia seat&nply altacl! the locking clip as shown in Figure 1 once you have adjusted th%tK7tfo the proper tension. Snug the locking clip within %,, of &e buckle. Another kind of lap belt feeds into and out of a retractor. When you pull on the free end of the belt, if you stop pulling, or allow the belt to go back into the retractor, the belt “locks up” and can’t be pulled out any further until you let the belt go aII the way back into the retractor. This kind of seat belt can be to secure your Columbia seat. Some lap belts only lock up when the nose of the vehicle dips, for example, during an accident, or when the driver steps on the brake. These arc “emergency-locking” seat belts. used Columbia Instructions Model H2000 page 1 vf 4 Because these belts cannot be properly secured, they must not be used to secure your Cohuubia seat. Combination lap and shoulder belts “Continuous-Loop” lap and shoulder belts are those that have a lock plate (the “male” part of the seat belt buckle) that slides freely along a continuous piece of webbing running from the hip to the shoulder retractor. These belts can be used to secure your Columbia seat. Once the seat belt is snug, simply attach the locking clip within l/2” (13 mm) of the lock plate as shovvn in Figure 1. Columbia seat. Adjust the length of the crotch strap with the metal slide on the underside of the seat.The length of the crotch strap should be adjusted so that the lap belt of the harness is down over the bony part of your child’s hips, not over their sotI stomach area. With the lap belt positioned correcUy over your child’s hips, the buckle will be located quite low, where it should be. With the crotch strap adjusted, take up slack in the shoulder straps with the metal slides on the back of the seat, and with those on the front. By using the metal slides on the back of the seat to control the belt length, you may adjust the harness SO that the adjusters on the front shoulder straps rest on a comfortable part of your child’s body, i.e., below the collarbone. Using the fine adjusters on the front, adjust the length of the harness for a comfortable tit. The harness must fit snugly for proper protection. Adjust the tightness of the shoulder straps so that you can tit one or two fingers (but no more) between the shoulder strap and your child’s collar bone. STEP 4: Location of Chest Clip The chest clip acts to keep the shoulder straps from sliding down off your child’s shoulders. Make sure that the chest clip is even with an imaginary line drawn from armpit to armpit. lf it is too high, it poses a strangulation hazard; ifit is too low, it will not keep the shoulder straps in place. Figure 1: Use o/the locking clip Some combination lap and shoulder belts have what is called a “sewn lock plate”. The lap belt is sewn to the side of the lock plate (the “male” part of the seat belt buckle), while the shoulder belt is sewn to the top of the lock plate. Each belt feeds into its own emergency-locking retractor. Because the seat belt tension cannot be properly controlled with these belts, they must not be used to secure Cohunbia seats. USE AND INSTALLATION STEP 1: Operating Your Car Seat Buckle Pressing the red button will open the buckle. To fasten the buckle, insert the two metal tabs into the top of the buckle until they click into place. Never lubricate the buckle. STEP 2: Adjusting Shoulder Strap Height Your Cohunbia seat has four pairs of precut slots, at diGrent heights up its back. The shoulder straps must be used in the slots located just above your child’s shoulders. If you need to readjust the shoulder straps to different slots, feed the metal slides on the back of your Columbia seat through the slots. To feed them through the slots, first twist the black metal slides sideways so that they will fit through the slots and push them through the slots. Do not attempt to unthread the straps from the metal slides to get them through the slots. Never lubricate the adjusters. STEP 3: Adjusting Harness Fit In adjusting the harness, the crotch strap is the first part to be adjusted. Loosen the other straps and place your child in your Columbta Instructions Model #2000 page 2 of 4 STEP 5: Adjusting Positioning Pads the Head Pads and The head pads may be adjusted for height. Located behind and underneath each head pad is a plastic ball, attached to the lace that passesthrough the head pad. Squeezethe button on each ball and slide the ball up or down to change the height of the head pads. The height of the positioning pads is set by tying them into place at the desired height. Simply run the lace through the grommets at the appropriate height, and then tie the pad into place. STEP 6: Securing The Seat In your Vehicle Your Columbia seat is designed to face forward in your vehicle in an upright position. Your seat is held in place with your vehicle’s own seat belt and, for children 65 pounds (29.5 kg) or above, with your vehicle’s own seat belt and the included tether strap. Important: do not attempt to place your vehicle’s seat belt around the front of your Columbia seat, the way many infant seats are held in. Thread your vehicle’s seat belt through the two metal tubes on the side of your Columbia seat, as shown in Figure 2. Connect your seat belt buckle and, while kneeling in your Cohunbia seat, adjust your vehicle’s seat belt as tight as possible to hold your Cohuubia seat in place. Ifthe seat belt is a combination lap/shoulder belt, pull upwards on the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the belt, then install the locking clip. Kneeling in the seat helps secure it; when you remove your weight from the seat, your vehicle’s upholstery will spring back into shape and keep the seat in place even more securely. Make sure that the seat belt buckle lies to one side or the other of a side tube, not resting across it. Note: the parcel shelf must be fixed and made of metrl underneath. You can tell ifit is made of metal underneath by looking in the truok. If the parcel shelf is adjustable or is not metal underneath, follow the instructions for a hatchback, van, or station wagon; in these cars, the tether anchor bolts to the cargo floor. See Figures 3 and 4. WARNING: before drilling any hole in your vehicle, make certain the gas tank, pipes, cables, etc., are not in the way and will not be damaged. The tether anchor must be mounted directly in a secure metal panel. If necessary for access, trim the carpeting, hardboard parcel shelf, or other trim for clearance. Make certain that the tether webbing does not rub against any sharp edges. Sedans built 1989 or after, with a fixed rear parcel shelf: Figure 2: Securing Columbia STEP 7: Installing seat with vehicle ‘s seal belt The Locking Clip -k Install your seat as described above, us&g your vehicle’s scat belt. * Hold your vehicle’s shoulder/lap belt webbing and the seat bell tab to stop it from sliding. Then release the tab from your scat belt buckle. * Fold the webbing and thread it through the locking clip, one side at a time. Keep the locking clip as close as possible to your scat belt tab - no furtlier than %” away. * Snug the clip against your seat belt tab. See Figure 1. * Buckle your seat belt to see that the clip has been correctly installed, with all slack webbing gone and the seat tightly in place. USE OF THE TETHER STRAP Mounting nut: Most cars built after 1989 or after, feature a manufacturer-installed tether mounting nut welded to the underside of the parcel shelf. Because of its location, this mounting nut is not normally visible. To find it, open the trunk and look up at the bottom of the parcel shelf. Some cars have one mounting nut, while others will have more than one. If your vehicle has such a nut, use it. Insert a pointed object (nail, etc.) into the nut from below, and up through your parcel shelf carpeting. From the other side, using the protruding object as your guide, trim a small hole in the carpeting. This will allow the tether bolt to screw into the nut from above. Attach the anchor as shown in Figure 3. Sedans built before 1989, with a fixed rear parcel shelf: Cars built before 1989 generally will not have manufacturerinstalled tether mounting nuts. Instead, you’ll need to drill a 7116” hole and use the nut supplied with the tether. With your Columbia seat in your vehicle, mark a spot on the center line of your Columbia seat about 8” behind the seat, on the parcel shelf. Open the trunk and, using a flash-light if necessary, inspect the A tether strap is supplied with your Columbia seat. For children between 65 and 102 Ib.( 29.5 and 46.3 kg), this tether strup must be used in addition to your vehicle’s seat belt. USC of the tether is optional for children under 65 lb.( 29.5 kg), bul Columbia recommends that the tether be used regardless of your child’s weight. Use of the tether will enhance the stability of your Columbia seat for any weight child, particularly if your vehicle has very soft or very upright seats. If you use the tether strap, install it in your vehicle as instructed below. INSTALLING THE TETHER The tclier strap is ‘V-shaped. The bottom of the “V” attaches to your vehicle. The hvo top ends attach to your Columbia seat by hooking onto metal brackets located on Ihe upper ends of each metal tube on the sides of your Columbia scat. The metal anchor plate on the bottom of the “V-shaped lclhcr must be bolted to your vehicle. Where to install the tether anchor depends on your vehicle, If you are installing your car seat in a sedan, the anchor plate bolts lo the parcel shelf in front of the rear wmdow. Figure 3: Tether anchoring on parcel shelf Columbia Instructtons Model #2000 page 3 of 4 bottom of the parcel shelf. Make sure there are no dangerous obshuctions underneath the spot that you have chosen. If it is clear, drill a hole for the anchor bolt. Attach the tether anchor as sllown in Figure 3. Pickup trucks can install your Cohunbia seat in the passenger-side front seat only if there is no airbag on that side (or if the airbag can be switched ofT). If your pickup truck has a rear seat, install your Columbia seat there. You can install the tether in the rear wall of the cab, a few inches below the rear window. YOU Attaching the tether to a rear seat belt You can attach your Columbia seat’s tether to the seaf belt of the seat behind it, but only if the seat belt is one of the usable kinds described above. You may need a second locking clip to secure that seat belt. Tllis is a good option when installing in minivans and some school buses, when you cannot easily reach the floor of the vehicle. Connecting the tether strap: With your Colmubia seat in place in your vehicle and the seat belt firmly tensioned, hook the tether onto the metal brackets on the upper ends of your car seat’s side tubes. Cinch the tether tight with the tether strap adjusters. Figure 4: Tether anchoring on vehicle floor Hatchbacks, vans, station wagons, and sedans without a fixed metal parcel shelf: With your Columbia seat in your vehicle, mark a location on the center line of the seat and far enough back so that the tether slrap will create no greater than a 45-degree angle from the horizontal (the floor of your vehicle). See Figure 4. Look under your vehicle and make sure there are no dangerous obstructions (c.g., gas tank, cables) underneath this spot, and that you will be able to reach it easily. If it is clear, drill a hole for the anchor plate bolt. Attach the anchor as shown in Figure 5. The anchor plate should be as close to horizontal as possible, so that the force on the tether anchor acts from the side. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS The cover of your Columbia seat may be machine washed and dried. To remove the cover for washing, first remove the harness and head pads. Then remove the foam block inside each head pad cover. The harness webbing may be washed with a damp, soapy sponge and air-dried. Use no chemicals or bleach, as they may weaken the harness. SOME TIPS WHEN FLYING Some airplane seats may be too narrow for your Columbia seat. Most airplanes have armrests between their seats which either flip up or are removable. By flipping up or removing the armrest, you will gain enough width for your Columbia seat. Ask your flight attendant for assistance. If your child’s feet don’t touch the floor, use your carry-on luggage as a footrest. Your Cohunbia seat has been FAA approved for use in aircraft (see decal on side of seat). Store these instructions in the pocket on the side of your seat for future reference. Columbia Ygure 5: Tefher anchoring Columbia Instructions Model #2000 methods page 4 of 4 Medical Mfg. Corp.

Mrs. Robin C. Morganza, LA did his glasses. I the Car Orthopedic Columbia Positionilzg #: 20001 Silver . Seat Fox Grey and Designer Blue This car seat is the number one car seat in the US! What makes this item so popular is its longevity and the amount of support it provides larger children. Standard baby car seats are crash tested for children weighing only 35-45 Ibs. The Orthopedic Positioning Seat has been crash tested for children weighing 20-102 Ibsand up to 5 fi tall. This means that the child will be able to use the car seat for many, many years. As the child grows the seat is adjustable and can grow along with the child by adjusting the head pads, five-point harness; or, by adding an accessory that increases the seat depth by 2 %” (Seat-Depth Extender #2025). Also included are four positioning pads to be used as building blocks that will provide support where support is most needed. The Ultimate Columbia Mobility Base #2100 A popular accessory to the car seat is the Ultimate Mobility Base. This is a stroller cusfonz designed for the Orthopedic Positioning Seat. The all aluminum stroller is durable yet lightweight and has an uncomplicated fold design, making it easy to transport. The large 70 in rear tires give a smooth ride over all types of terrain. A unique feature of this stroller is the one-hand, bolt-action positive lock mechanism to easily secure the seat onto the base.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW EACH OF THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS COULD CAUSE YOUR CHILD TO STRIKE THE VEHICLE’S INTERIOR DURING A SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The SPELCAST is a specially designed child restraint for use by children required to wear a pelvic cast. This Child Restraint Device (CRD) has been dynamically tested and meets all the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Specification (FMVSS) 213 without the use of a Top Tether Strap. An optional Top Tether Strap can be purchased directly from Snug Seat, Inc. A tethers use can significantly reduce movement of the CRD’s occupant in an accident. The SPELCAST is intended for children in pelvic casts weighing less than 40 pounds (excluding cast weight) and are less than 40 inches tall (child’s head cannot extend above top of the seat.) Use mild soap and water to clean the vinyl cover and foam under pads 1 Snug Seat-Spel Cast CRD Installation Instructions page 2 of 9 IMPORTANT!! A LOCKING CLIP is supplied with each SPELCAST. This device is required to securely install the SPELCAST in vehicles equipped with seat and shoulder belts with a “sliding tongue” as illustrated below (Figure 1). The sliding tongue allows the belt system to move freely when it is buckled. The locking clip prevents tbe “sliding tongue” from movement and properly secures the SPELCAST. Shoulder Belt Sliding Lap Belt Tongue / Figure 1 LOCKING -3 If the SPELCAST is installed in a seating position with a “sliding tongue” lap-shoulder belt, you must use a Locking Clip (Figure 2). Failure to do so may result in serious injury to your child and other occupants in the auto. c Figure The Locking Clip holds the lap and shoulder belts together allowing you to pull the lap belt tightly, to firmly hold the SPELCAST in space. (Figure 3) Shoulder CLIP 2 Belt To use the Locking Clip, install the seat in the vehicle per the instructions. Pull the shoulder belt through the sliding tongue to remove all slack webbing from the lap belt.
