I have googled it but all I come up with are broken links...

It's for a prenatal class at my community centre in chinatown.

Doesn't matter if it's from a different province, since they're really only interested in the infant stage info...thanks!

I have a booster in simplified Chinese:

And booster in traditional Chinese:
http://www.healthlinkalberta.ca/nr/rdonlyres/ew7jfua45b24633s35tzfykgme2rtuacis4j3al2cxar34g7l3 z7qebonlr3aw2wy7uja6hdknvtpno475fjfy4umle/BS+Traditional+Chinese.pdf

But the closest I see in Rf'ing is Korean:
http://www.health-in-action.org/library/pdf/AORP/content/Education/BoosterSeats/Translated_Resources/RF_Korean.pdf

Any idea if that may be helpful? I'll look around the site a little more and see if I can find a Chinese rf'ing one.

eta: I looked around and don't see a Chinese rf'ing one. I really have no clue how related Korean and Chinese languages are, but if you have a contact person you could always print one and show it to her. Sometimes there's a crossover in languages and it may have more effect than an all English brochure anyways?

Let me know if you end up just needing a translation. That's easy enough for me ;)

Find out the languages in 'chinatown' though as not neccessary all chinese there anymore but newer immigrants like Cambodians, Laotians, Burmese, etc. At least this is when I lived there a decade ago, the Chinese actually have left 'Chinatown' :) And all these languages are different from one another :)

I think MTO or a few places here in the GTA have different languages that I can look up later on.

Fortunately Chinese language dialect is primarily a spoken, and written is mostly consistent... Sometimes I'll even see a Mandarin and Chinese person writing in order to communicate...although most people here are able to communicate in both, these days!

Chinese and Korean are pretty different, but thanks - I will look around those sites more!

For this class, the people in it are mostly Chinese (I asked), some french-speaking vietnamese as well. Ottawa's chinatown is still very much chinese (it's my neighborhood, as well) and there's alot of misuse here since recent immigrants might never have seen a carseat before coming to Canada. My (ancient) bachelor's degree is in chinese but I never use it :o so I may ask for translating help if I can't find a more "official" handout. Something with pictures would be awesome! I'd love something that people in the class could hand out to their friends...

Thanks everybody! I'll post if I find something

Hmm, I've found some American stuff that I might cut and paste (literally) to make something relevant for Canada (just serious basics, like not moving more than an inch side to side).

Found something for alberta - maybe with judicial use of whiteout it would be ok...
