Is this a positive or negative flu test?

Woke up feeling absolutely awful today, throat is a stabbing red hot poker when I swallow, sinuses are like a pressure cooker ready to explode and sitting at baseline temps of 39°C with paracetamol. I’ve also lost my voice, much to my children’s delight!

Decided to do a combo RAT test and assumed it was negative, but then I noticed on the pamphlet it says a feint line is still positive… am I imagining it or is there a tiny something there? Or is it just a normal mark that normally shows up? It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these and I’m so confused 🫤

My son has just turned 6 and is already quite tall (~125cm) and solidly built (around 40kg, wider frame with chunky legs).

We’re currently using a Mother’s Choice Dawn, but it’s not working well for him — he looks a bit “hunched” in it, and the seat constantly slides around and covers the seatbelt buckle when he gets in, which makes it really frustrating to buckle him in every day.

I’m looking for recommendations for a booster seat that:
* accommodates taller kids (good height longevity)
* has enough width/space for broader kids (not tight through hips/thighs)
* sits more securely on the seat (doesn’t slide around)

I’ve been looking at options like the Maxi-Cosi Rodi AP and InfaSecure Aspire, but I’ve seen mixed feedback around width vs stability.

Would love to hear what’s worked for other parents with bigger/taller kids!
