Don't buy a second hand booster seat - you never know what condition they are in and you may not be able to see cracks inside the fabric. After a crash all booster seats should be replaced and if you don't know the history you don't know it is safe.

You wouldn't believe what you find at Goodwill and yard sales. A good washing and spray with Lysol and you should be good to go.
The reason being is that most kids up to eight and nine depending on weight must have a booster, therefore, manufacturers have invented the 3 in one and the 5 in one which accommodates a child from newborn through booster age and they don't make a whole lot of boosters.
Also, there are over 400 booster seats on eBay at this time.
Another thing would be that next time you purchase a vehicle you might get one with a built in booster, they are really neat.

No. The regulation is the regulation and if all toddlers are under the top minimize then all 3 would desire to be interior the seat. because it fairly is puzzling to get 3 seats to in good shape it fairly is finished with enjoying slightly tetris and you have have been given to get some categories of booster seats for it artwork. I actually have a small vehicle and as quickly as I had to in good shape 3 seats I had to get 2 diverse makes. One grew to become into an entire booster with the severe lower back like yet another seat and the different 2 have been the a million/2 seat sort. the entire form had to pass interior the midsection and the two a million/2 types went on the two area of that.

I only found out today that this law has actually started in Ireland too - i had heard nothing about it except on english chat groups and presumed it was only something over there. My mum found a piece in the paper today about it here and its the first either of us had known about it coming in here.
I hope you find a booster seat soon - so silly to bring a law in and not have made sure that the seats would be in plenty supply!
Before this law came in (2 years ago) i was working in a toy shop in a nursery dept and we gave out completely different advice - as per what had been tried and tested - i dont know why they suddenly think this has changed...
Sorry for wandering off the point - have you tried to put your name down for the next shipment?

What a ridiculous situation - do you think perhaps the baby seat/booster seat industry was struggling, so the Government passed a new law to help out?
Hope you find one soon.

dont worry the police have said they will be lenient for the first few months because of the shortage of booster seats on sale.

Plenty of online retail sites selling them - so if you are having difficulty getting one on the high street, might be quicker to mail order one?

You shouldn't have waited until the last minute.
