I may be in need of a Columbia 2500 for about a week for a demo in jan/feb. I obviously don't want to bill my client $1700 for this seat. Is there any group i can go through for rental?

I don't know of any car seat rental places there tends to be to much liability in renting such items. Did you just Need the seat to see if it will work for a certain case and if so have you tried to contact any local special needs instructors in order to borrow the seat for a fitting Granted you wont be able to use the seat fore more than the fitting to car and child but at least it should give you the answer as to if the seat is the right one for this case.

thats what i need, i probably need the seat for 48-72 hours then can return. I'm on the east coast though. I'd be willing to put down a cash deposit even.

Check with the local hospitals, the ones that deal with kids that would need those types of seats. Here, it is Legacy Emanuel Hospital.

In addition to contacting Special Needs Instructors, I'd try contacting Easter Seals, United Cerebral Palsy, Shriners Hospital, Children's Hospitals, and medical equipment distributors for pediatric clients.

These folks are well connected to the families of kids with special needs in the area and may 1) have one available 2) be able to order one for trial purposes and/or 3) know "someone who knows someone."
