Child seat car traffic police rules. The rules for transporting children in cars are changing. Requirements for drivers

In May 2016, the next edition of the SDA came into force with changes regarding the transportation of minors. Fines for violation of requirements have increased, the circle of those responsible has expanded: now these are not only drivers, but also other persons who are responsible for the safety of children.

Consider the current rules: both previously known and new ones.

Transportation of newborns

A newborn passenger is a full-fledged participant traffic and must be transported in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The baby can be in the car only in a special chair that provides reliable fixation of the body in the prone position.

A feature of the car seat is a long belt. An alternative is the universal Isofix mounting system, which is present in almost all modern cars.

From the cradle to the first chair

The transition to the “sitting” position occurs in a child at 6–8 months. The bone and muscle systems at this age are still fragile, so the fixation system should be as safe as possible. Improve the lateral support of the head and body with special inserts and headrests.

For active growth

From about 4-5 years of age, you can use universal car seats with a height-adjustable headrest and a fully detachable backrest. After unfastening the backrest, a booster remains - a seat-stand designed to raise a child 120-150 cm tall for fastening with a standard car belt.

As before, the age limit governing the use of a child car seat is 12 years. After reaching this age, a young passenger is equated to an adult.

Child in the front seat

The rules do not prohibit placing toddlers and teenagers in the front passenger seat. However, here, unlike in the back row, belt adapters and boosters are outlawed. Up to 12 years of age, riding in front requires the use of an age-appropriate car seat only with the front airbag deactivated.

The pillow should be turned off, since the direction and strength of its opening is designed for the size of an adult. Tests have shown that a minor operation of this device can do more harm than good.

One strap for two

The rules categorically prohibit the use of an adult passenger as a child seat. You can not sit the child on the mother's lap and fasten them with one belt. In this case, an accident or even sudden braking leads to the fact that a passenger with a large weight will not be able to control the inertia of his body and cause serious injury to the baby.

Individual approach

Recently, the idea of ​​taking into account the individual parameters of children in determining the way they are placed in the car has been actively promoted. It is proposed to consider a height of 150 cm as a criterion for refusing a child seat. A passenger above this mark can ride with a regular seat belt fastened without violating the law.

The described relaxation will result in an expansion of restrictions for those whose height by the age of 12 is below one and a half meters. To increase safety, children will have to use special restraints until they reach the specified height.

A little about exceptions

It's no secret that a child car seat is not a panacea, especially if we are talking about unknown producers. Therefore, try to purchase certified devices, even if not at the lowest price.

Many are concerned about the issue of old cars, the back seat of which does not have seat belts. Today, the rules categorically indicate the need for the safe placement of children, so the rarity will have to be equipped with belts.

Supplement to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation

The current Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation was replenished with three parts - 4–6. Now a driver carrying a group of minors in a car or bus without a charter agreement, a list of children and accompanying persons, as well as a route program, faces a fine of 3,000 rubles. Officials who violate the requirements stipulated by the traffic rules may lose 25,000 rubles. and legal entities - 100,000 rubles. The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation equates individual entrepreneurs to legal entities.

Responsibility for the night transportation of minors, which is regulated by the Rules for the organized transportation of a group of children by buses, has become especially tough. Guilty drivers face a fine of 5,000 rubles. or deprivation of rights for 4–6 months. For officials, a fine of 50,000 rubles is set, and for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs - 200,000 rubles.

All drivers should strive to comply with traffic rules regarding the transportation of small passengers. And the main incentive in this matter is not a fine, but the preservation of the life and health of children. In addition, following the established rules instills in children a culture of behavior on the road, brings up a generation of law-abiding and accurate drivers.

In accordance with the Rules of the Road (SDA), as amended from July 01, 2017, the transportation of children is allowed provided that their safety is ensured, taking into account the design features of the vehicle (clause 22.9 of the SDA).

New rules for transporting children

With the introduction of changes to the Rules of the Road, the requirements for transporting children in child seats have changed.

From 01 July 2017 transportation of children under 7 years old in vehicles equipped with seat belts, must be carried out using child restraint systems (devices) that are appropriate for the weight and height of the child.

Transportation of children aged 7 to 11 years (inclusive) in a passenger car and a truck cab, which design provides for seat belts or seat belts and an ISOFIX child restraint system, must be carried out using child restraint systems (devices) appropriate for the weight and height of the child, or using seat belts, and in the front seat of a car car - only with the use of child restraint systems (devices) corresponding to the weight and height of the child.

It is forbidden to transport children under 12 years of age in the back seat of a motorcycle.

Conclusion. Thus, under the new legislation, children under 7 years old must be transported exclusively in child car seats, and children over 7 years old can be transported in the back seat of a car without car seats, using other means that allow them to be fastened with standard seat belts.

This innovation is primarily due to the abandonment of the use of corrector-adapters for seat belt straps. Thus, studies conducted at NAMI have established that such adapters during an accident can cause more serious injuries to a child than their absence.

For reference. Previously (until July 01, 2017), the SDA provided that a child under 12 years old could be transported in a car using a car seat or using other means to fasten a child using seat belts provided for by the design of the vehicle.

Prohibition of leaving children in the car

According to the new rules, it is forbidden to leave a child under the age of 7 in a vehicle while it is parked in the absence of an adult.

Responsibility for leaving children in a car without adult supervision is provided for in Part 1 of Art. 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (violation of the rules for stopping or parking vehicles) and is punishable by a fine of 500 rubles.

Children in the car are passengers, they are among the most vulnerable road users, in relation to which drivers should exercise extra caution. In order to ensure their safety, drivers must comply with the Rules establishing the requirements for the carriage of children in vehicles equipped with seat belts, their transportation must be carried out using child restraints or other means that allow the child to be fastened using seat belts provided for by the design of the vehicle.

Penalty for transporting children without child car seats

For non-compliance with such a requirement in 2019, administrative liability is provided for under Part 3 of Art. 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of 3,000 rubles; for officials - 25,000 rubles; for legal entities - 100,000 rubles.

Conclusion. The fine for violation of transportation of children is 3,000 rubles. Please note that the fine under Part 3 of Art. 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation can be paid at a discount of 50%, that is, pay not 3 thousand rubles, but 1,500 rubles.

Requirements for child car seats according to GOST

The fact that children should be transported in car seats is enshrined in the traffic rules, but the question arises - what should these seats be like in order to ensure safety when transporting a child and whether boosters, scarves on a belt, FEST adapters, etc. can be used.

Requirements for child car seats that are approved for use when transporting a child (during transportation in which there is no administrative responsibility) are established in GOST R 41.44-2005 (UNECE Regulation N 44). "National standard Russian Federation. Uniform regulations regarding restraints for children in motor vehicles ”(approved and put into effect by Order of Rostekhregulirovanie dated December 20, 2005 N 318-st).

In accordance with GOST R 41.44-2005 child restraint system(child restraint systems) is a set of elements consisting of straps or flexible elements with buckles, adjusting devices, attachment details and, in some cases, an additional device (for example, a cradle, a removable child seat, an additional seat and / or impact shield) that can be attached to the inside of the vehicle body. The device must be designed in such a way that in the event of a collision or sudden braking of the vehicle, the risk of injury to the child in the restraint is reduced by limiting the mobility of his body.

At the same time, child restraints are divided into five weight groups:

  1. group 0 (group 0) - for children weighing less than 10 kg;
  2. group 0+ (group 0+) - for children weighing less than 13 kg;
  3. group I (group I) - for children weighing 9 - 18 kg;
  4. group II (group II) - for children weighing 15 - 25 kg;
  5. group III (group III) - for children weighing 22 - 36 kg.

GOST also established that child restraints can be of two designs:

  • whole(integral class), which includes a set of straps or flexible elements with a buckle, an adjustment device, fastenings and, in some cases, an additional seat and / or impact shield, which can be attached using its own integral strap or straps;
  • incomplete(non-integral class) comprising a partial restraint which, when used in combination with an adult seat belt that wraps around a child's torso, or a restraint carrying a child, forms a complete child restraint;

GOST requirements allow the use of not only solid car seats, but also other devices to ensure safety when transporting children, which include:

  1. partial restraint(partial restraint): A device, such as a booster cushion, which, when used in conjunction with an adult seat belt around a child's torso, or a child restraint, forms a complete child restraint;
  2. extra pillow(booster cushion): Elastic cushion that can be used with any adult seat belt;
  3. guide strap(guide strap): A strap that holds the shoulder strap of an adult seat belt in a position where it can be used for children, and the actual position where the shoulder strap changes direction can be adjusted using a device that slides up or down the strap depending on the location of the shoulder and fixed in that position. The guide strap must not be subjected to significant dynamic loading.

Thus, the requirements of GOST allow the transportation of children over 7 years old in a booster, with obligatory condition the fact that the child will be fastened with standard seat belts.

Similarly, children can be transported using a "gusset" worn on the car's seat belts if it is able to change the direction of the shoulder strap depending on the location of the child's shoulder.

Judicial practice on appealing the decisions of traffic police inspectors for violations of the rules for transporting children

Initially, the courts, when considering complaints from drivers and their representatives, proceeded from the fact that a child under 12 years of age should be transported only in child car seats, however, a number of decisions of the Supreme Supreme Court of the Russian Federation clarified the situation in this matter and recognized the driver’s actions as legal if he transports a child in a booster (cushion) fastened with regular car seat belts.

So, by the Resolution of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of June 29, 2016 N 18-AD16-153, the involvement of the driver Latyshev A.A. was declared illegal. to administrative responsibility for transporting a child under the age of 12 in the back seat of a car, wearing a seat belt, without a special child restraint (the driver was transporting a child (booster) wearing an adult seat belt).

In the decision on the above case, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation explained that transportation of children under 12 years of age in the back seat of a vehicle is possible using both child restraints that correspond to the weight and height of the child, and other means that allow you to fasten the child with the help of seat belts.

Decree Supreme Court RF dated 07/23/2015 in case N 46-AD15-28 also declared illegal the decision of the traffic police inspector to bring the driver to an administrative fine in the amount of 3,000 rubles for violating Part 3 of Art. 12.23 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. In this case, the driver was transporting a 5-year-old child in the back seat of the car on a pillow, fastened with a seat belt, without a special child restraint

The Supreme Court in its ruling, referring to the requirements of GOST R 41.44-2005, also indicated that transportation of children under 12 years of age in the back seat of a vehicle is possible using both child restraints that correspond to the weight and height of the child, and other means that allow fasten the child with the seat belt.

Attention. Taking into account the changes made to the traffic rules, from July 01, 2017, only children over 7 years old can be transported without car seats in the rear seats of a car. Transportation of children younger age using other means that allow you to fasten a child using seat belts, the new rules are not allowed.

Judicial practice in the transportation of children using capes on the belt of the company "FEST"

Court decisions indicate that bringing drivers to administrative responsibility for violating the rules for transporting children under Part 3 of Art. 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, if the child was only fastened with seat belts using the FEST adapter (without a booster or pillow) legally.

So, by the decision of the Kurgan Regional Court dated June 24, 2016 No. 4A-258/2016, the decision of the traffic police inspector of the traffic police of the traffic police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Kurgan to bring the driver to administrative responsibility under part 3 of Art. 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation with the imposition of a fine in the amount of 3,000 rubles for the transportation of a child fastened with the FEST restraint without an additional pillow.

The court ruled that the driver's arguments that he was transporting a child fastened with the help of the FEST device were not essential for the correct qualification of his actions for the following reasons. At the same time, the court pointed out that the mere fact of transporting a child fastened with the FEST restraint without an additional pillow cannot be considered sufficient to conclude that the driver complied with the traffic rules for transporting children.

IMPORTANT. Thus, the transportation of children under 7 years old, fastened with a FEST restraint or with a triangular adapter (as well as children from 7 to 11 years old - without an additional pillow or booster) - prohibited.

Transportation of children in the front seat without child car seats is not allowed

Arbitrage practice in this case, it clearly interprets the norms of the law and testifies to the legitimacy of bringing drivers to responsibility for transporting children under 12 without child seats in the front seat.

So, by the decision of the commander of the ORDPS of the OGIBDD MO of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia "Rubtsovsky", the driver was found guilty under part 3 of Art. 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and was punished with an administrative fine in the amount of 3,000 rubles for transporting a child under the age of 12 in the front seat of a car without a special restraint device. The decision was recognized by the courts as lawful and justified.

    shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of three thousand roubles; for officials - twenty-five thousand rubles; for legal entities - one hundred thousand rubles.

    Therefore, do not be surprised if the taxi driver refuses to transport a child without a child seat. For such a violation he is threatened.

    If a taxi driver agrees to carry a child without a child seat, you should be wary, firstly, this is a threat to the safety of your child, and secondly, such a taxi driver most likely works illegally and does not have a license to transport people. Such a license is not issued to individuals.

    Leaving a child under 7 years old alone in a car is a violation of the rules of stopping and parking. Liability is provided for by part 1 of article 12.19 in the form a warning or a fine of 500 rubles.

    Perhaps in the near future a separate article will be allocated for this violation.

  • Short answer: fine - 3000 rubles, no discount, up to 12 years old only a car seat should be used in front, alternatives can be used in the back seat: boosters and triangle adapters. In 2017, no changes so far.

    And now in detail. Answers the question about the rules for transporting children P.22.9 SDA:

    Transportation of children under 12 years of age in vehicles equipped with seat belts must be carried out using child restraints appropriate for the weight and height of the child, or other means, allowing you to fasten a child with the help of seat belts provided for by the design of the vehicle, and in the front seat of a car - only using child restraints. (link to the text of the law)

    Responsible for punishment article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (paragraph 3). A fine for an ordinary driver is 3,000 rubles, for an official (for example, a taxi director) - a fine of 25 thousand, for a legal entity - 100 thousand.

    But 20-day payment does not apply to chair fines(this violation is not specified in Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, which describes “discount” fines). Well, of course, you will be fined even if there is a car seat (in the trunk, for example), but the child is not in it.

    What will change in 2017? Nothing.

    In June 2016, the Ministry of Internal Affairs published a draft amendment to the traffic rules, which, from January 1, 2017, would weaken the requirements and take into account the situation with children of high stature. But for now, this bill 01/01/06-16/00049990 is left without movement, that is, no changes are expected in 2017. But let's still see what they want to change in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

    On the one hand, they propose to relax the requirements - from 7 to 11 years old, it will be possible to both use a car seat and use a regular belt if the child is already large. But up to 6 years old, inclusive, it will be necessary to use only a car seat, without any triangles there. The fees don't change. I repeat, this is only a draft of changes in traffic rules, and in 2017, the rules of 2016 will still be in effect.

    Another possible change to the law in this moment(December 2016) is already under consideration by the State Duma. The amendment proposes to exempt children with disabilities and other adolescents who cannot physically be seated and fastened from a fine of three thousand for driving a child without a seat.

    That is, there are no exceptions for accelerated children?

    I don’t like this word – “accelerate” – but yes, there are no exceptions in the current legislation. And there are no restrictions in the planned amendments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs either, everything is given to the conscience of parents. Although abroad, the growth of a teenager is usually taken into account (see below).

    Another thing is that no one obliges you to carry a child's passport with you. And if your son or daughter already looks 12 at the age of 10, then the traffic police inspector will not have any complaints in practice.

    And what are the rules and penalties for a child seat in other countries?

    In Germany for transporting children without a car seat, the parent will receive a fine of 80 euros and 1 point in the driver card (8 points - retake). In Belarus the first fine is up to 4 basic units (which equals 81 Belarusian rubles or 2,700 Russian rubles). For a repeated violation within a year - up to 8 (that is, ~ 5400 rubles). In England the fine is either £30 (~2,300 rubles) or up to £500 (up to 40,000 rubles) if the case is pending in court. In Poland– 150 zlotys (about 2300 rubles). Fine for a child seat in Kazakhstan– 10,000 tenge (about 1,800 rubles).

    As you can see, Russian fines are quite high and are commensurate even with European fines. We must pay tribute, our legislator knowingly raised the punishment - after 2010, when increased fines were introduced for transporting children without a car seat, this rule in Russia was no longer massively ignored. And it’s understandable why, a simple chair for a child costs just 2000-3000 rubles, so even those parents who don’t care about safety understand that it’s cheaper to buy and use.

    But the main flaw of the Russian rules today is that they do not take into account real size child. Most Western countries similar laws apply for children under 12 or who have not reached a height of 120-130 cm (in different states in different ways). Some countries even introduce weight grading, although it is not clear how the police will weigh the child 🙂

    It has already been (or only) 10 years since the amendments to the Rules of the Road, regulating the transportation of children in cars. They were criticized a lot and, finally, the need for change became obvious.

    Recall that now, according to the Rules of the Road, children under 12 years of age must be transported in the back seat using "child restraints appropriate for the weight and height of the child, or other means that allow the child to be fastened using seat belts," and in the front seat - only "with the use of child restraints."

    On the one hand, both doctors and the police have repeatedly pointed out that seat belt adapters that fit the definition of “other means to fasten a child” do not provide its reliable fixation and not only do not save the child during an accident, but, on the contrary, can further injury. The corresponding bench tests were carried out by the State Scientific Center of the Russian Federation Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Central Research Automobile and Automotive Institute "NAMI"" As it turned out, it is safer to fasten a junior schoolchild in the "usual" way.

    On the other hand, many parents pointed out that by the age of 12 (and even earlier), their children were already quite catching up with moms and dads in height and weight, which means that their safety can already be fully ensured by standard devices that any modern car is equipped with - seat belts . But put in baby car seat or a “baby” booster with a height of under 170 and a weight of 50 kilograms was simply impossible (and unsafe). When meeting with representatives of the State traffic inspectorate, the parents were forced to lie about the age of the child, and the traffic police did not really try to find out the age of young passengers - they are not required to carry documents with them.

    So the need to make changes to the rules for transporting children is long overdue, but they turned out to be half-hearted. It would seem much easier to set limits solely on height, focusing on the minimum parameters for which seat belts are designed (150 cm). Nonetheless,

    ...the developers of the bill simply lowered the age of the child for whom a car seat is mandatory - now it is seven years old. From 7 to 11 years old, the car seat can be used at the discretion of the parents - depending on the height and weight of the child.

    But, it should be noted, we are talking only about transportation in the back seat of the car. On the front seat children under 11 years of age can only be transported in child car seats. The fine for violating this rule is 3000 rubles.

    There is one point that can be subject to double interpretation - what is included in the category of "child restraints" in addition to car seats and infant carriers. For example, GOST R 41.44-2005, approved by order of Rostekhregulirovanie No. 318-st 12/20/2005, states:

    child restraint systems: a collection of elements consisting of straps or flexible elements with buckles, adjusting devices, fasteners and, in some cases, an additional device (for example, a cradle, a removable child seat, an additional seat and/or impact shield) that can be attached to the inside of the vehicle body. The device must be designed in such a way that, in the event of a collision or sudden braking of the vehicle, the risk of injury to the child in the restraint is reduced by limiting his moving body.

    That is, car seats, boosters, and seat belt adapters fit this definition.

    On the other hand, the current edition of the traffic police separates “child restraints” and “other means” that allow you to fasten a child with seat belts.

    Until the bill is approved, it seems most reasonable to focus on the comments for the media made by the leader of the all-Russian political party Automobile Russia, State Duma deputy of the VI and VII convocations Vyacheslav Lysakov. According to him,

    ... all adapters - both "pads" and "triangles" - are now excluded from the number of restraints, that is, they cannot be used when transporting children under 7 years old. How and with what to keep children older than seven years old - remains at the discretion of the parents.

    The deputy did not make any comments about boosters (children's car seats without a back), however, formally, they, like belt pads, do not belong to restraints - they only allow the child to take the correct position relative to the seat belt. Most manufacturers allow them to be used only for children weighing at least 15 kg. 4 - 4.5 years. Probably, they can only be used to transport children over 7 years old.

    And, finally, one more innovation - it will now be prohibited to leave a child under 7 years old in a car without adult supervision, the corresponding addition lobbiedpersonallyformer Children's Ombudsman Pavel Astakhov and included in paragraph 12.8 of the SDA.

    The size of the fine has not yet been approved, but most likely - 500 rubles. So no more “I’ll run for a minute while the child dozed off in the car!”

    It is assumed that the changes to the traffic rules will come into force on January 1, 2017. However, according to Vyacheslav Lysakov, it is still impossible to talk about specific dates: changes in the Rules of the Road do not require any preparatory work, additional by-laws, so that as soon as the signature of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev appears under the document, new traffic rules will have to be reckoned with. Perhaps already tomorrow?
