The Special Tomato Soft-Touch Booster Car Seat combines the comfortable, contoured support you love from Special Tomato with the safety and security of an affordable booster seat for older children that need support beyond what can be provided by booster car seats designed for typically developing children. The Booster Car Seat is recommended for children with mild to moderate physical involvement. The Booster Car Seat promotes an upright, seated posture while traveling in a vehicle. There is a 5-year Manufacturer Warranty for the Booster Car Seat.


"I THOUGHT THE CUSHIONS WERE HARD PLASTIC UNTIL I TOUCHED THEM! THEY'RE SO SOFT!"

The Special Tomato Soft-Touch Booster Car Seat includes the LATCH strap to keep the Booster positioned on the vehicle seat. The Booster includes a Multi-Positioning Trunk & Pelvic Harness for positioning purposes only. The vehicle's shoulder/lap belt is used to secure your child and the Booster to the vehicle seat for safety. The Booster Car Seat passed the FMVSS 213 (US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213) so you can have peace of mind that your child will be safe, supported and secure.

The Soft-Touch Booster Car Seat is also FAA compliant and approved for use on airplanes.

The Soft-Touch Booster Car Seat can be taken out of your vehicle and used as a seating system when you are out and about. The Booster Car Seat has two sets of attachment straps to attach the Booster to most stable chairs in your home, a restaurant, or community center. As you order the Booster Car Seat, you will also have the opportunity in Required Step #3, to purchase an indoor base for the Booster Car Seat. There are 3 options- Floor Sitter Base, Stationary Base, and Mobile Base.

  • Floor Sitter Base- Also called the Floor Wedge Base, this base allows your child to be fully supported in the sitting position while on the floor. This level of seating is great for interaction between children with special needs and peers that are playing on the floor.
  • Stationary Base- This strong wooden base allows children to be close to the floor without caregivers having to transfer them all the way down to the floor. The Stationary Base is equipped with furniture glides to protect floors.
  • Mobile Base- This is the same strong wooden base as the stationary base, but has a frame equipped with four swivel castors and rear locking brakes. Castors provide maneuverability around the room or room to room, even in space restricted areas.

All base options allow for up to 25 degrees of seat tilt. This can provide a slightly reclined, gravity assisted resting position for children who fatigue while sitting fully upright.

Please Note: There is a 6-year Expiration Date for the Booster Car Seat for use during transportation! The Seat itself can be used beyond 10 years with the Wooden Mobile Base or attached to a standard chair for more than 10 years!

Please Note: NHSTA School Bus Rules/Regulations do not include special needs car seat regulations for children over 40 lbs. The MPS Car Seat is not tested for INSTALLATION DIRECTLY INTO A SCHOOL BUS SEAT.

The Special Tomato (MPS Car Seat or Booster Car Seat) are not available for sale through Adaptivemall.com in Canada. Product may be purchased through your local authorized Canadian distributor.
