The conference participants discussed the problems related to ensuring proper quality and safety of children's goods on the Russian market. Elena Danilevskaya, Federal Supervisor of the Mothers' Council, spoke about the results of the all-Russian campaign "Save a Child" summed up in eight months of the current year. The campaign is carried out jointly with Rosstandart to identify organisations selling surrogate child restraints instead of safe car seats.
