Do I need a child car seat for a trip to Abkhazia?

Yes, definitely. According to traffic rules in force both in Russia and Abkhazia, children under 7 years old must be transported in a car seat. Children aged 7 to 11 can be fastened with a standard seat belt in the back seat, but for safety it is better to use a booster seat or a car seat.

At the border, the presence of a car seat is usually not checked, but at traffic police posts inside the country you may be fined. Do not risk the safety of children. Also, do not forget to take out insurance for the car — it is sold at kiosks on the Abkhaz side (about 1000 rubles for 15 days).
