TheraPedic™ Vehicle Restraint System
Model #2000 & 2500
Although Federal standards have not been established for body weights in this range, Columbia TheraPedic Vehicle Restraint
Systems have been crash tested and successfully withstood impacts using a 130 lbs (59 kg) test dummy at 30 mph (48 kph).
WARNING! DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR:
Model #2000 is for use only with individuals who weight between 20 - 102 lbs (9.09 - 46.36 kg) and
whose shoulder height when sitting is 12 -20 in.
Model #2500 is for use only with individuals who weight between 50 - 130 lbs (29.5 - 59 kg) and
whose shoulder height when sitting is 13 -24 in.
Model #2500 - Do not use with individuals under 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
Failure to follow each of the following instructions can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior
during a sudden stop or crash.
Secure this TheraPedic Restraint System with the vehicle's seat belt as specified in the manufacturer's
instructions located in the pocket on the side of this seat.
The harness must fit snugly for proper protection. A snug strap should not allow any slack, without
sagging, while not pressing into the individual's body.
Do not use with your vehicle's LATCH connector system. The LATCH system is not designed for
individuals over 50 lbs.
Your Columbia TheraPedic Vehicle Restraint System must not be used in front seats protected by
airbags, unless your vehicle has a switch to turn the airbag off. Passenger-side airbags can cause
serious injury or death to children in safety seats.
Your Columbia TheraPedic Vehicle Restraint System is designed to fit a wide range of individuals. To
insure a proper fit for the occupant, it is important that your seat be correctly set up and installed
before using it for the first time.
This seat must not be used with:
1. Vehicle seats that face to the side or rear;
2. Vehicle seats with backs that can fold forward in a crash or sudden stop. Some seat backs
automatically lock in an emergency. Check your owner's manual or with your dealer if you're not
sure;
3. Seating positions with belts that automatically surround the passenger as the door is closed;
4. Seating positions with emergency-locking seat belts.
See the section below on seat belts to determine which of your vehicle's seat belts may be used.
Your Columbia TheraPedic Vehicle Restraint System must be secured forward facing with both your
vehicle's seat belt and the included tether strap.
To maintain 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 TheraPedic
Vehicle Restraint System may no longer be effective and should immediately be replaced.
Metal tabs, etc., can become hot inside a closed automobile in the sun. Check that the metal parts are
not too hot before putting the occupant in your seat. If you park in the 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 TheraPedic™ Restraint
System secured with your vehicle's seat belt, even when the Restraint System is unoccupied, as a
safety precaution for yourself and other occupants.
