Traffic police officers draw attention to the fact that transportation of children under the age of seven in a car should be carried out only using special chairs. For schoolchildren, transportation is allowed without the use of an additional seat, but on condition that they are securely fastened with seat belts.

According to statistics, the use of child safety seats reduces the risk of death in road accidents by about 90% for infants and by 55-80% for preschool children.

In a car, the child completely trusts the driver. If parents or other adults do not provide an adequate level of security, this can lead to serious consequences.

Earlier, we talked about the fact that a preventive action of the traffic police "Web" was held in Mordovia.
