Changes in the rules for the transportation of children in the car came into effect

Now, if you stopped "for a minute" in the store,and your baby has nailed in the car, leave it asleep (however, as well as awake) in the car it does not turn out. More precisely, you can get something, but then you will get it. At best, fine. The amendments to the traffic rules were signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. According to the document, children under seven years are not allowed to leave alone in the cabin of the car without looking after them adults.Photo:GettyImagesThe need for such changes was discussed after unpleasant incidents with children in cars became more frequent. Either a tow truck will take away such a car, not noticing a sleeping child behind the tinted windows. Or a parent will not think that the child will be hot and stuffy in a locked parked car, and the case ends up in the hospital. As a rule, the police are called by concerned passers-by, and the parents arrive later. On various forums on the Internet, such cases cause a wave of indignation, and mutual: some are outraged by the negligent parents, others - by strangers who poke their noses into other people's business. "But I leave mine ..." - such messages are found every other one. Let's see if they will now follow the rules. By the way, there is another very important point in the document concerning your children. More precisely, the rules for transporting them in the passenger compartment of a car or a truck cabin. All alternative restraining devices such as an adapter or a frameless device turned out to be illegal for preschoolers. "Based on the results of the tests, the following conclusion was made: other means (a book, a frameless device, and a seat belt strap corrector (adapter) were selected as the test object) do not provide the required level of protection for the child. - This is a quote from the reference to the document. - During the tests, it was also proven that other means are highly likely to aggravate the consequences of an accident for the child compared to the seat belts provided for by the design of the vehicle and used to secure the child without any additional devices." Currently, children under 12 years old can be transported both in regular child seats and boosters, and with the help of other devices that help fasten them with standard belts. The new version of the rules will include the word "without alternative." That is, for children under 7 years old, it will be possible to use only a child seat selected according to the child's height and weight. If your child is between 7 and 11, then "the use of child restraints or seat belts provided for by the design of the vehicle" is allowed. Read more:
