Columbia Car Seat

The Columbia car seat is without doubt our most popular item from our specialised car seat range and is specially designed for children with disabilities from 9 - 46kg and up to 1.52m tall.

With its vacuum-formed ABS plastic shell and chromed steel side tubes, the Columbia Car Seat is very light at only 5kg. The car seat cover is washable and comes in a choice of colours.

The Columbia Medical Special Needs Car Seat meets or exceeds safety standard: American Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) and FMVSS 225; Canadian CMVS 213.3 and European ECE R44.03. It is also FAA compliant, has been approved for use on airplanes and fits in aircraft economy class seating.

The Columbia Car Seat does not meet the requirements of AS/NZS 1754-2000 and therefore customers should obtain a certificate from their Medical Practitioner to permit its use in Australia. ETS encourages customers to consult with their allied health professional to ascertain if this product best suits individual needs.
