The Story Behind the Brand...
y dad and mom had four children. The rst three
children were healthy and regular people. Then I came
along, a baby with a difference, Down Syndrome. I had
a hole in my heart, a rip in my heart valve, jaundice, a big tongue and a
wobbly head. As I got older I also realized that I am a slow learner.
One day it was bothering me that I was having a hard time doing my
school work. I told my dad about this problem and he shared a story about
when he was out in his garden picking tomatoes the year I was born. Every
year my dad grows a garden and loves to plant tomatoes. At harvest time
there were Beefsteak tomatoes on a bush. When he saw a differently shaped
tomato it got his attention. It had a large, smooth, bright red enlarged side
that made my dad want to pick it up and study the bump because it was
so unique and looked appetizing. At supper, that tomato was just as
juicy as the others.
Even though I’m different like the tomato as a person with Down
Syndrome, my family and friends love me even more and want to
help me when I need it. My dad tells me that even though I have
more difculty learning than my brother and sisters, my lovable
and outgoing personality and strong character make me just
as special as they are. I guess I am the special “tomato”
on our family’s bush!

Special Tomato™ is Tim Bergeron’s latest product line. He has over 25 years of experience designing, building,
and selling adaptive positioning equipment, including founding the Tumble Forms® product line as its original
designer. Tim has coupled his design experience with a new manufacturing process
that provides soft durable, impermeable cushions for positioning children with
special needs. The rst Special Tomato™ Brand Product is the Multi-Positioning
Seat.
Now you may be asking, “What’s so Special about Tomatoes”? Tim is
pictured here with his youngest daughter, Carrie, a young adult with
Down syndrome. Carrie’s story, “The Special Tomato”, summarizes what
Tim believes that most parents feel about their child with special needs.
“Every child is special in their own unique way. It’s a parent’s job to nd ways
to facilitate their child’s growth in a way that includes them equally within the
family and community.” For children with physical disabilities, adaptive equipment
can play an important role in helping them reach their highest functioning level.

3) Refrain from leaving the child restraint in direct sunlight for long periods of time. The metal
buckles can become hot enough to burn.
4) When not in use, store in a safe place. Do not place heavy objects on the child restraint for
storage.
5) Due avoid injury due to hidden damage or deterioration, no longer use the system after six
years or if it has been in a crash.
6) According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the safest place to put your
child in a restraint system in your vehicle is in the rear seat. DO NOT place a child in the front seat
of the vehicle that has an airbag unless the airbag has been turned off. The impact of an airbag on
a child can cause SERIOUS INJURY, and even DEATH.
7) Make sure all users of this restraint understand all information in this booklet.
8) Install this child restraint in a FORWARD FACING vehicle seat ONLY! Never install in a
vehicle seat that faces sideways or backwards!

Car Seat Installation
Safety Information
10) The Headrest Tether MUST remain secure when using the MPS as a child restraint.
11) Children should not be left in a vehicle alone for any length of time.
12) Do not disassemble or change this child restraint in any manner, except those steps described
in this booklet.

straint.

15) Do not place anything between the vehicle seat and the child restraint to raise the height of
the child restraint. In the event of an accident, the object could slip and disrupt the stability of the

accident. Child restraints will not completely protect a child in the event of a serious impact. The
roll of the child restraint, when properly installed, is to significantly improve the chance for survival
in most crashes.
17) Unless specified by your vehicle’s manufacturer, assume that the vehicle LATCH anchor limit
is 50 pounds (22 kilograms).
18) Carry your child restraint by the hard seat shell. Do NOT carry it by the 5-Point Harness
