I have read on one of the web sites that Russia has passed a new law about children and car seats as of January 1, 2007. Yesterday when I was talking with the social worker I asked her if she had heard of this new law and she said that she did. I looked up portable car seat on the internet and found one that folds down so that it is easy to pack into your suitcase. I thought it might be of interest to those of you who will be traveling soon. It also does not look too bulky and might be good for the plane ride.
I guess like everyone else who is waiting for the refferal and travel dates I am making a list. I have attached the link to the web site where I found this car seat. I plan on talking with my friend who is a car seat specialist to get her opinion. Apparently 70% of car seats are installed incorrectly. In New Jersey the Sheriff's department will install it for you free of charge. There is apparently a course and a certification that they have that enables them to do this for new parents. Also check with your local hospital to see if someone in the Nursery or Pedicatric unit is certifed to check a car seat. My friend is the one for the hospital that I work at so I plan to take her to lunch and buy a car seat while we are out when the time comes.

Glad to hear they're enforcing car seats. From what I hear about the driving they need them.
I know at least state side you can rent (or borrow even) a car seat from the airlines. Not sure if you can do the same internationally though.
Great reminder to have police/others check to insure proper installation of car seats!
