I know absolutely nothing about boosters seeing as I'm years from needing one but was just curious. Do the same regulations apply with boosters as they do with car seats? Can you use an American booster seat in Canada?

No, you cannot legally use America boosters in Canada. While most available in both countries are likely quite similar, Canadian regulations are a bit more stringent regarding amount of foam in the head area of restraints (I believe this applies to boosters as well, although someone please correct me if I'm mistaken). Also American boosters do not have the required English/French labeling like Canadian seats do.

I figured as much but I wanted to double check. My dad's gf lives in Minneapolis so he's offered to bring us anything that we'd want/need.
I've already told him car seats are a no go but when he asked about boosters I was stumped.
