As Kommersant reports, against the background of an increase in the number of such accidents, the authorities have decided to pay close attention to the Russian market of child seats and other fastening devices – boosters, adapters and similar accessories. We remind you that traffic regulations require that children under the age of 7 be transported in a car seat, and that children from 7 to 11 years must use standard seat belts, if their height and weight allow it. Violation of these rules will result in a fine of 3,000 rubles.

However, various seat belt “correctors and adapters”, which usually consist of a triangular fabric cover with a buckle, are very popular on the market. The reason for their popularity among car owners is trivial: they are several times cheaper than car seats (200-500 rubles), as well as “frameless car seats” (800-900 rubles) – this is a fabric backpack attached to a standard seat belt. However, these ‘devices’ are not capable of holding a child in the event of an accident.
