Elephant car seat

About 6 years ago, I bought a booster seat that is shaped like an elephant's head. It is unusual in that the car lap strap, instead of just going straight across the child's lap, is supposed to be tucked under the elephant's trunk, in between the child's legs. The lap strap therefore goes across one leg, under the trunk, and then across the other leg.

At the time, I bought it from a reputable mother and baby mail order company and it complied with the relevant British Standard. As it is so small, we have found it very useful to pack into a suitcase and take on holiday with us and this is what it has mainly been used for. However, I have never seen another like it and it no longer appears to be sold.

Does anyone else have one of these seats or know if it still meets today's standards and if it is safe? Alternatively, what is the best way of finding out? I cannot find the instruction leaflet to be able to contact the manufacturer. I will try ringing the mail order company on Monday in the hope they might be able to assist.
