Thread: Car seats in Russia

детское сиденье is more informal and much widely used. I have two of them for both my kids. I tried to use rear-facing for my daughter seat (she is 1 y.o.) but she doesn't like it and get boring very fast. But when she looks forward she rather enjoys a trip. I had a couple of long trips with her with summer (more than 1000 km each) and she was ok during the whole way in her seat. My son is 9 y.o. so he almost don't need a child seat already. But by the Russian law a kid must be in a seat untill 12 y.o. or if his weight is less than 35 kg. My son's weight is 32kg so he is planning to get rid of the seat soon.
