Trust us with the most important thing – transporting your children!

A child under 7 years old must be transported in a car in a special restraint device. The exception is the front seat, where children under 12 years of age can sit. All parents know this rule, therefore, if there is a car in the family, a car seat is also purchased. However, when it comes to taxi rides, the issue of having a restraint system arises. Can a child be transported in a taxi without it? What to do if there is no car seat in the taxi? Who should pay the fine for not having a restraint system in the car: the taxi driver or the passenger? These and many other questions concern parents. We tried to find answers to them.

A child in a taxi: is it necessary to be in a car seat?

Traffic rules apply to all vehicles - in a taxi, as in any other car, a child under 12 years old in the front seat and under 7 years old in the back seat must be in a car seat. For violating this rule, a fine of 3,000 rubles is imposed.

But most taxi cars are not equipped with child restraints, and this is the main problem. Nobody prohibits parents from using their own child seat. However, it is quite difficult to carry and install it every time, with the exception of a car seat with a special handle and a booster. As a result, parents either have to carry the child in their arms at their own risk, or call many services to find a free car with a car seat.

Who should pay the fine: the passenger or the taxi driver?

The taxi service provides a service for transporting passengers, and it must do this in full compliance with all existing rules. Clause 22.9 regulates the presence of a car seat in a car for a child under 7 years old. This means the driver must provide a restraint system for the small passenger. The fine for non-compliance with traffic rules falls on him.

But there is another side to the coin here. It is easier for a driver to refuse a trip than to risk his own money. Therefore, parents often have to agree with him that “if something happens” they will take on financial responsibility. But the main issue in this matter remains something else: the safety of the little passenger, since it is prohibited to carry him in your arms for a reason.

Why can’t you carry a child in your arms in a taxi?

Even if the collision occurs at minimum speed (50-60 km/h), the child’s weight increases many times under the force of inertia. So, the load on the hands of a parent holding a child is at least 300 kg. You will not physically be able to hold and protect the baby. As a result, he risks simply flying forward through the windshield.

When will Russian taxis have car seats?

In order for the matter to move forward, a document is needed that would oblige all taxi cars to be equipped with child car seats. Or, at a minimum, always have a sufficient number of them available. It is also important that the implementation of such a decision is carefully monitored.

Taxi drivers have their own view of the problem. In their opinion, there are several reasons why it is impossible to keep a car seat in the car all the time:

• It takes up full space in the back seat, which reduces the possible number of adult passengers.
• Can the restraint device be stored in the trunk? Theoretically, yes, but taxis are also often called by passengers with luggage, and if the trunk is occupied by a car seat, bags and suitcases may simply not fit.
• Another important point is that there is no universal car seat for children of all ages, and it is simply impossible to carry several restraint devices with you.

After the release of the law regulating the transportation of children under 7 years old in the back seat and up to 12 years old in the front seat, many taxi companies purchased car seats and boosters, but no one managed to equip all cars with restraint devices - this is very expensive. Transferring a car seat from car to car as needed is inconvenient. Therefore, ordering a taxi with a restraint device is still a matter of luck.

Will adapters and frameless car seats save the situation?

The use of frameless restraints or adapters is currently prohibited by law. The fact is that frameless restraint devices and adapters are not able to provide a small passenger with the proper level of safety in the event of a traffic accident.

Baby in a Taxi

Babies up to 10 months travel in a car seat or baby carrier. You should not expect that such a restraint device will end up in a taxi due to the limited time period for its use. Taxi drivers cannot provide child seats for all ages, so they prefer the most universal options. Parents need to decide this issue on their own. If the family has a car, you can use your own infant carrier - it can be easily transported thanks to a special handle. If the family does not have a car and you often use taxi services, it is recommended to purchase a budget version of the restraint device (from 3,000 rubles).

Taxi trips with children over 10 months

While it is convenient to take a car seat with you on the road, no parent will agree to carry a full-fledged car seat. Here we can only rely on conscientious taxi service employees. Most often, taxis use universal transformable car seats that cover the widest possible age period. Unfortunately, you cannot influence the quality of the holding device in any way. Most often, luck is simply having it in the car. When calling a taxi, do not forget to inform the dispatcher that a child is traveling with you!

Traveling in a taxi with children over 5 years old

For children aged 5 years and older, boosters are suitable - compact restraint devices that are seats without a backrest. These are the ones you can most often find in taxis. The cost of a booster on average is 500-2000 rubles. It takes up very little space in the cabin, so such a holding device is an ideal option for taxi drivers. In Moscow, certain taxi services purchase a large number of boosters for each car so as not to encounter unnecessary problems when transporting children. However, not everyone does this! Therefore, if in one place you are denied a car seat, do not rush to take risks, call other services.

1. Advice

If you plan to travel in a taxi with a child, be sure to inform the dispatcher about this. Check if it is possible to order a car with a car seat, and also indicate the age of the child. If they cannot offer you a car equipped with a restraint device, we recommend calling other services. If you place an order via the Internet or mobile application, be sure to check the appropriate box next to the item requiring a car seat.

Buy a compact restraint device for taxi rides. For example, a standard belt adapter is cheap and easily fits even in a small bag. However, such a restraint device is not able to provide the proper level of safety for your child, and it will only save you from a fine. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is get a frame car seat in a taxi, and use the adapter only in a desperate situation. A booster backpack from Trunki can also be a lifesaver. This holding device is a compact booster that folds into a backpack and also allows you to put additional things there. True, compared to standard boosters, it is quite expensive, but it will solve the problem of traveling in a taxi with a child.

Caring parents!

Together we make the world safe and comfortable.

Child safety expert

An unhealthy trend has emerged in Russia where taxi drivers or directors of taxi companies are being held criminally liable for transporting children without a seat. How so? After all, violation of the rules for transporting children under 7 years of age is covered by administrative legislation, which provides for punishment in the form of a fine. It turns out that not everything is so simple when it comes to licensed transportation of passengers in a passenger taxi.

The worst thing is that there are already many such criminal cases in the country. For example, a number of media outlets have repeatedly reported that Russia has begun to initiate criminal cases against taxi drivers who transport children without car seats.

Even in Moscow, the first criminal case has already been recorded against a taxi driver who was transporting a child without a seat.

Why are drivers brought to both administrative and criminal liability for the same traffic offense? After all, there is one offense, which means the degree of responsibility should be the same. Well, the maximum fine may vary.

For example, there is a difference between fines that are issued to individuals and legal entities.

But when people are brought to both administrative and criminal liability for the same traffic violation, it looks, at the very least, strange and illogical. Let's figure it out.

We have studied judicial practice in similar cases. And we must admit, indeed, in a number of regions of Russia, criminal cases have been opened more than once against taxi drivers who violated the rules for transporting children - for example, a child was not riding in a car in a child seat, as required by law.

And what’s most interesting is that all such cases ended in convictions. No, the guilty taxi drivers were not imprisoned or sent to learn traffic rules in remote places. Most of them got away with large fines and naturally received unnecessary criminal convictions. And they were even more fortunate (if I may say so), since they were prosecuted under Part 2 of Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, namely under paragraph “b”. Here is an excerpt from the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation:

• Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation Production, storage, transportation or sale of goods and products, performance of work or provision of services that do not meet safety requirements

Part 1. Production, storage or transportation for the purpose of sales or sale of goods and products, performance of work or provision of services that do not meet the requirements for the safety of life or health of consumers, as well as unlawful issuance or use of an official document certifying the compliance of these goods, works or services with safety requirements -

shall be punishable by a fine in the amount of up to 300,000 rubles or in the amount of the wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to 2 years, or by compulsory labor for a period of up to 360 hours, or by restriction of freedom for a term of up to 2 years, or by forced labor for a term of up to 2 years, or imprisonment for the same period.

Part 2. The same acts if they:

a) committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy or by an organized group

b) committed in relation to goods, works or services intended for children under 6 years of age

c) caused by negligence the infliction of serious harm to health or the death of a person, -

are punishable by a fine in the amount from 100,000 to 500,000 rubles or in the amount of wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of 1 to 3 years, or forced labor for a period of up to 5 years, or imprisonment for up to 6 years with or without a fine of up to 500,000 rubles or in the amount of wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to 3 years.

That is, for transporting children under 6 years of age in a taxi without a special child seat, the taxi driver faces criminal liability under Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Moreover, the same responsibility can be extended to the director of a company that is engaged in licensed taxi transportation of passengers. And getting off with a fine is still half the problem.

Please note that in addition to liability in the form of a fine, the article contains a line that indicates that the culprit may be held liable in the form of imprisonment for up to 6 years. We emphasized this measure of responsibility from an excerpt from Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Moreover, the judge will decide what punishment the taxi driver deserves, at his own discretion, guided, as they say, by the materials of the case.

Surprised? Can you imagine the shock of the taxi drivers who, when transporting children without a seat, thought that the maximum they would face was an administrative fine under Article 12.23 of the Administrative Code, which provides for liability for transporting children without a seat in the form of a fine of 3,000 rubles.

Do you feel the difference between 3,000 rubles and 6 years in prison?!

You will say that no one has yet deprived anyone of their freedom for such offenses? After all, all taxi drivers prosecuted under Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation were simply fined.

Yes it is. But they received unnecessary criminal convictions. In any case, this can now affect their future lives. After all, now in all databases they will be listed as criminally convicted persons. This means that, at a minimum, such people’s credit history will be damaged - at least for a long time, at most forever.

Also, now these drivers will not be able to get a job in government agencies. Yes, in principle, they will not be hired by any serious commercial organization either. But that's not the point.

When it comes to criminal liability for violation of traffic rules, for which administrative liability is provided for individuals, it becomes uneasy. No, we do not, of course, protect those drivers who transported children without a child seat. But this does not mean that they deserve a criminal conviction and a large fine, which, by the way, can be an unbearable burden for many.

Also, bringing taxi drivers to criminal liability for transporting children without a seat does not guarantee that some judge who simply did not get enough sleep or came to work in a bad mood will not decide to impose a real sentence of imprisonment on the taxi driver instead of a fine. After all, you and I live in a country with a not entirely perfect judicial system.

Our judges are still guided by their inner convictions, and often do not listen to the arguments of witnesses and defense attorneys in favor of the accused. What can we talk about here? Of course, there is a risk that some irresponsible taxi driver will soon end up behind bars for transporting a child without a child car seat.

But this may turn out to be the father of this child, who, in his free time from work, decided to take his child home from kindergarten or school in his taxi car, for which there is an official permit for taxi transportation. And then what? It turns out that instead of a fine of 3,000 rubles, the child’s father may end up in prison?

Agree that all this is thought-provoking. Why did taxi drivers begin to be prosecuted? Here, of course, you need to ask a question to representatives of the State Traffic Inspectorate and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After all, such cases had never happened before. Why have such criminal cases started to appear recently? What, we didn’t have such an article in the Criminal Code before? Yes, no, it was. What then? What's happened?

What is the difference between ordinary drivers who transport a child without a child seat and a taxi driver? After all, a taxi driver is a person like everyone else and is not a legal entity?

But it turns out there is a difference if we correctly interpret our confusing and often incomprehensible legislation.

The whole difference is that if you are driving your own car, which does not have a license to transport passengers in a taxi (permit for taxi transportation of passengers), then for transporting children without a child seat, you can only be brought to administrative liability under Article 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses R F, for which you will be fined 3,000 rubles.

But if you transport a child without a child seat in a car that has a taxi license, and especially since you are transporting a child as part of the instructions for taxi services, then, of course, you risk being prosecuted under Part 2, paragraph "b" of Article 238 of the Criminal Code RF. If you are also an Individual Entrepreneur who has received permission for taxi transportation for your car, and you work for yourself, then transporting a child under 6 years of age will most likely result in criminal liability for you.

The worst thing is that formally this huge difference in liability between the administrative and criminal codes for the same violation of the law in the field of road safety is completely legal.

The only thing that raises questions is the actions of traffic police officers and other law enforcement agencies, who previously did not prosecute drivers for such offenses. Now what has changed?

In general, all this is strange and again makes me think.

Let us repeat once again that we do not defend “bombers”, who indeed often violate traffic rules (often they do this in order to complete as many orders as possible during a shift) and often transport small children without car seats.

But the fact that they are being held criminally liable for transporting a child under 6 years of age without a car seat seems to us to be too much.

Considering that the majority of taxi drivers work for some taxi companies and other large companies, maybe it’s just time to slightly reconsider the level of responsibility of organizations involved in licensed taxi transportation, and not blame the bombers for all the sins?

There are also questions for taxi service aggregators who do not monitor their fleet and taxi drivers at all.

• For reference
• Let us remind you, for those who have forgotten or for some reason do not know. It is strictly prohibited to transport children under 7 years of age without a child seat in a car. Otherwise, an ordinary driver faces a fine of 3,000 rubles (). The taxi driver faces criminal charges. Then, if you are lucky, then a large fine, and if you are unlucky, imprisonment.

Our company takes transporting small passengers by taxi very seriously. The Road Traffic Rules (TRAF) establish that the transportation of children by passenger vehicles is permitted only with the use of special restraint devices. Here you can inexpensively buy a child seat. There are many types of chairs, each suitable for a certain age, but there are also universal chairs.

You will be able to discuss all the details of the trip with the dispatcher. As a rule, to select the correct restraint device, we need to know the age and height of the small passenger. Sometimes clients ask us whether it is possible to transport a child in a taxi without a seat. The answer is no!

The Caramel company offers its clients to order a taxi to transport children. This can be done by calling the company's dispatch service. You can also use our website and place an online taxi order for the safe transportation of children. All vehicles in our taxi fleet are equipped with the necessary restraint devices. For the youngest road users, aged from 0 to 6 months, up to a year, we provide a taxi with a car cradle. In it, the baby is in the most comfortable position for him and is secured with special seat belts. While the vehicle is moving, the child lies in the cradle, which provides him with comfort and complete safety. A taxi with a cradle is most often ordered by young mothers to transport infants from the maternity hospital or to travel to a children's clinic.
For older children, we suggest ordering a taxi with a child seat. For each age group, there are car child seats that have certain design features. For children from six months to one and a half years old, there are seats, so-called “cocoons”, which are installed against the direction of movement of the car, which allows the baby to be safe during sudden braking of the car in the event of an emergency situation on the road.
For children over one and a half years old, there are child seats with adjustable backrest tilt in such a way that allows the child to be in a comfortable position both during sleep and while awake.
For children over 3-4 years old, as a rule, universal child seats are used, which allow you to secure the baby either with the belts of the car seat itself or with standard car seat belts. This directly depends on the child’s growth.
For school-age children, we offer to order a taxi with a booster. Many teenage children are no longer very comfortable in a child seat, but a booster seat, on the contrary, is perfect for their height and age. A booster seat is a seat without a backrest and has two armrests. In a booster seat, the child is secured while the vehicle is moving using standard car seat belts.

Rules for transporting children in a taxi

The Road Traffic Regulations (TRAD) allow the transportation of children by passenger vehicles only with the use of restraint devices, which include cradles, child seats and boosters.

This is established by law, and our company drivers always follow traffic rules. Transporting children in a taxi without a child seat is prohibited.
This additional option is paid for by all companies providing taxi services in Moscow, however, we offer this additional service at the lowest prices in the capital and region.
