Why is it $600 cheaper to get the standard seat and adding the same Plus components as the Plus Medium? Is this some strange loophole to get the Plus Medium for less? So confused.

We would like to inform you that the prices are as per the manufacturer guidelines.

Is there a picture available of the Retainer clip guard and the Buckle guard? I have a client who can easily get out of the standard chest straps and would like to see if this may be a safe option for him.

Is this seat crash test rated and legal in Canada?

The Columbia 2400 Car Seat is fully crash tested as per the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS #213. But for use in Canada you have to check this with the Canadian Government’s Vehicle Safety department.

Can this car seat be rear facing? Is there anyway to see the seat prior to purchasing?

We are sorry but this child car restraint can ONLY be used in the forward facing position, on forward facing vehicle seats.

If you order the 4" seat depth extender, are two needed?

Yes, you can order 2 Seat Depth extender of Columbia 2400 Spirit Adjustable Positioning System Car Seat. The cost will be $287.7

If youorder the swing away trunk and hip supports, is it necessary to purchase the pads as well?

If you order Swing Away Trunk Support and Hip Support it is not necessary to purchase the pads, but if you order pads individually you have to purchase Trunk and Hip Support

are the lateral supports nicely cushioned?

Thank you for contacting customer care service. Yes it is cushioned. To adjust the lateral support depth, simply loosen the bolts on the face of the arm, then slide the bracket in or out. Tighten the bolt to lock it in place. Wrap the fabric sleeve around the arm to protect the user from the metal edges.

What to buy with Columbia 2400 Adjustable Positioning Car Seat

How to use Columbia 2400 Spirit ABS Car Seat?

Installation: Lap-Shoulder Belt (ALR)

Place the child restraint in a forward-facing position on the vehicle seat.
Note: If more than 3 inches of the child restraint base extends beyond the front edge of the vehicle seat (not including use of the recline bar), then the vehicle seat is too shallow to properly support the child restraint. If this is the case, DO NOT INSTALL.
Pull the seat belt out completely to engage the retractor. Do not allow the belt to retract.
- Insert the latch plate (the “male” part of the seat belt buckle) into the outer lower side vehicle belt slot and route the belt around the back of the child restraint
- Pull the seat belt out through the other lower side vehicle belt slot
- Insert the latch plate (the “male” part of the seat belt buckle) into the vehicle’s seat belt buckle
When routing the vehicle’s seat belt, make sure that the shoulder belt lies within the on top of the seam between the two fabric.
Place one knee in the child restraint and push down firmly. Starting from the buckle, pull on the shoulder belt portion of the webbing until it is tight.
Eliminate the slack by releasing the shoulder belt back into the retractor. You should hear a clicking noise as the webbing rewinds.
Pull on the shoulder belt to ensure that it is locked. If properly engaged, you should not be able to create any slack in the seat belt. Ensure that the child restraint is held down firmly into the vehicle seat.
The tightness of the installation should ensure that there is no more than 1-inch of movement of the child restraint. If there is more than 1-inch of movement, then the installation is incorrect and must be redone.

Installation: Lap-Shoulder Belt (ELR)

Lift the cover from the child restraint to reveal the tether slots. Insert each of the metal bracket ends of the tether strap into the right and left tether slots (insert from front to back). You will have to turn the bracket horizontally (as shown on right) then insert the bracket completely into the slot. The tether strap will wrap over the top of the child restraint frame and down the back. Reposition cover.
Place the child restraint in a forward-facing position on the vehicle seat.
Note: If more than 3 inches of the child restraint base extends beyond the front edge of the vehicle seat (not including use of the recline bar), then the vehicle seat is too shallow to properly support the child restraint. If this is the case, DO NOT INSTALL.

- Insert the latch plate (the “male” part of the seat belt buckle) into the outer lower side vehicle belt slot and route the belt around the back of the child restraint
- Pull the seat belt out through the other lower side vehicle belt slot
- Insert the latch plate (the “male” part of the seat belt buckle) into the vehicle’s seat belt buckle.
Place one knee in the child restraint and push down firmly while pulling on the shoulder belt to tighten and remove any slack from the lap portion of the belt.
With one hand, firmly hold the shoulder and lap portions of the seat belt together, immediately behind the latch. Then, release the seat belt latch from the buckle.
Fold the webbing and thread it through the locking clip, as shown above, keeping the locking clip as close as possible to the latch plate (no further than 0.5-inch). Buckle the seat belt checking that the child restraint is tightly in place.
The tightness of the installation should ensure that there is no more than 1-inch of movement of the child restraint. If there is more than 1-inch of movement, then the installation is incorrect and must be redone.

Installing the Tether

Lift the cover from the child restraint to reveal the tether slots. Insert each of the metal bracket ends of the tether strap into the right and left tether slots (insert from front to back). Turn the bracket horizontally (as shown on right) then insert the bracket completely into the slot. The tether strap will wrap over the top of the child restraint frame and down the back. Reposition cover.
After the child restraint has been installed using the vehicle’s seat belts, attach the tether hook(s) to the vehicle’s tether anchor(s). The primary tether anchor to use will be located immediately behind the child restraint
- For individuals LESS than 80 lb (36 kg): attach one tether hook to the tether anchor immediately behind the child restraint.
- For individuals GREATER than 80 lb (36 kg): use two tether hooks, attaching one tether hook to the tether anchor immediately behind the child restraint AND the other tether hook to the closest adjacent tether anchor.
After the hooks are secured, firmly adjust the tension on tether strap with adjuster sliders making sure there is no slack on the strap.
