Baby seat: how many years and what?

Every person who has a car and became a parent, from the first days of the child's life will have to purchase a child seat. How many years is the baby supposed to ride in it? What threatens those who have not purchased this device? This will be discussed in our article.

So, first find out where it says that you need to have a child seat in the car, how many years in it should the child ride and what penalty for non-compliance with this rule.

Article 12.23 (part 1) of the Code of Administrative Violations "Violation of rules for the transport of people ..." refers to an administrative fine of 500 rubles, and paragraph 22.9 of the SDA states that the transportation of a child is possible only if it is provided for its safety. This takes into account the design features of the car. Now let's take a closer look at this provision about such an item as a child seat.

Since how many years it should be used? From the very first days of the life of the child, that is, when the wife meets the maternity hospital by car, the happy father should have a so-called auto-car with him. Now, children's chairs for up to a year are sold in almost every specialized store for kids. They come in different designs - both simple and cheap, and more expensive. The child in this chair is lying down (usually with a special tab) or half-sitting. More expensive models are equipped with a cover on the legs, a visor and a winter envelope. Modern avtollyki can even be put on the wheelbase from a baby stroller - many models provide this.

It is convenient to use the car and at home, if your baby is up to six months. Just put it in the device, lift the handle so that it is over the child's head, hang bright toys and ribbons on it. Most children's car seats up to a year can be used as a rocking chair. You can not buy a chaise longue and use such a child seat instead.

How many years should children move in the car seat? Modern designs of these devices are designed for different weight categories of children and are divided into 6 classes, from 0 kilograms to 36 kilograms, which corresponds to the six-year age of the child.

From the age of 6 and up to the age of 12, in cars with seat belts, a special child restraint system is necessary . It should correspond to the baby's parameters - weight and height. If the child moves in the back seat, you can use special straps on the seat belt. If you really want to ride your child under the age of 12 in the front seat, this is only possible with the use of special child restraints. In the rear seat of a motorcycle to 12 years old, your child also can not drive.

What is dictated by the age limit, like 12 years? The fact is that all seat belts in all cars are designed for passengers with an increase of more than one and a half meters, and therefore can not provide adequate protection of the child in an emergency situation. If a small child is simply fastened with an ordinary adult seatbelt, which in this case will pass through the neck or head area, the child will get serious injuries in the event of severe braking.

The most serious injuries in an accident are children who were in the hands of parents during the movement, so get a child seat! How many years should it be used? At least to 6, then you can do with an inexpensive holding device.
