I can't find anywhere on the net that says either way. I did find something that said use a newer booster and described the kind with just the seat, not the thing across the front, but that seemed more for extra safety than law. If this booser is pretty old, then it is probably a better idea to buy a new one especially if you bought it used. It usually isn't a good idea to buy used carseats. If they have been in an accident, they may have been damaged without the previous owner even knowing. My suggestion is to buy a new one. Or go to your local fire department and have your old one checked out. Most fire departments have free monthly car seat safety checks.

No!!! These NO LONGER meet safety standards and are EXTREAMLY dangerous!! Children suffer major injuries and even death in these seats (known as shield booster seats). Many children slip out from under the shield or are thrown into it at a high rate of speed during a crash, causing neck and spinal cord injuries, head injuries, and several deaths.

Boosters with shield are NOT safe! In addition, the shield WAS to be used only until 30 pounds. It IS safe, however to continue to use the seat WITHOUT the shield (only if the shield can be completely removed - some were attached). The purpose of a booster is to position a child so that the vehicle seat belt fits properly - low across thighs and across shoulder, therefore, the base of a shield booster is acceptable. I recommend carseat.org for the 5 step booster test and other child restraint info. NE CPS TECH

What are the different types of booster seats available on the market, and how can parents determine which one is the most suitable for their child's safety and comfort?

There are mainly two types of booster seats: high-back boosters and backless boosters. High-back boosters provide more support and protection for the head and neck, while backless boosters are more portable and easier to move between vehicles. Parents should consider their child's height, weight, and age when choosing a booster seat. It is important to ensure that the seat fits the child properly, with the seat belt positioned correctly across their chest and hips. Parents should also look for booster seats that meet safety standards and have been tested for crash protection.

Is it safe to take testosterone boosters while you are on Nasacort AQ?

1st Answer Testosterone boosters are not safe and must be supervised and indicated by a doctor. 2nd A: All though both are steroids, they affect different areas of the body on first summation I would say no, there should not be issues. Nasacort AQ is one of the cleanest nasal steroids with the fewest side effects. Contact the Manufacturer of the testosterone boosters and ask them for certainty. After years of personal experience and a healthy knowledge of the allergy products, I have never come across a medicine that someone would have to stop while using Nasacort AQ!
