Rules for Carriage of Children in the Car
Children are the most important thing in our life, and the main duty of parents is to take care of their health and safety. A car is a vehicle that is a source of increased danger, so never disregard the precautionary measures that traffic regulations dictate. Transportation of children, on the basis of paragraph 22.9 of the SDA, is allowed only if their safety is ensured (depending on the design of the vehicle).
The rules for the transportation of children read: movement in a car of a child under the age of 12 is allowed only if there are special restraints corresponding to its weight and height, or other devices that allow the child to wear seat belts. On the front passenger seat of children can be planted only strictly if there are special restraints. Probably, everyone understands what is meant by this term - child safety seats. You can buy them at any car dealer.
The rules for the transportation of children provide for the use of a certain group of child seats, based on the age and weight of the child. Below is the corresponding table:
Group of armchairs | Age of child, years | Weight, kg |
0 | 0-1 | 0-10 |
0+ | 0-1.5 | 0-13 |
1 | 1-4 | 9-18 |
2 | 3-7 | 15-25 |
3 | 7-10 | In 22-36 |
When you go to choose a child seat, be sure to bring your child with him so that he can decide for himself how he feels most comfortable. Do not buy an armchair the size bigger. The rules for the transportation of children clearly state: the restraint must strictly correspond to the age category.
In connection with the high rates of child mortality on Russian roads, the government has developed a set of measures to improve this situation: a lot of social videos are being broadcast on television, and there are plans to tighten penalties for violation of traffic rules. Transportation of children without proper security measures is punishable by a fine of 500 rubles, but legislators plan to increase this amount 6 times.
So, it should be remembered that the rules of transportation of children are developed not simply because of the desire to comply with any international standards, namely with the goal of preserving the health, and often the lives of our children. Do not violate them in any way. Remember that the child's body is not able to withstand the loads that an adult will seem to be nothing. Even when going somewhere close, for example, to a nearby supermarket or to a kindergarten, do not leave your baby unfastened, because who can know what will happen in the next minute. Good luck on the roads!
