Everybody wished to enjoy the beauty of Cresland country and to learn about the most important treasure for your child maybe finding it.
 "Cresland Treasures" is a quest and a staple of "Car Seat to Every Child" campaign. For two weeks a large-scale social “Car Seat to Every Child” campaign has been underway in Russia. The main purpose of this campaign is to convince parents to buy children not toys but car seats because this is the child's safety that is of ultimate importance when children travel in cars. It is such restraint as a car seat that in event of an accident mitigates the risk by 70% and has the capacity of saving the child from dramatic consequences, injuries and bruises. The Russian Interior Ministry Traffic Police was the initiator and organizer of the campaign "Car Seat to Every Child!". It was supported by the Russian Union of Car Insurers and NGO "Risk Free Road Traffic".
Exciting competition along "Cresland Treasures" lines already took place in Kaluga, Tula, Tambov, Ryazan and Moscow. Next stop after the capital was the Moscow region. Sunday afternoon on November 13 the grand event took place in the shopping center "Mega Belaya Dacha". Such a numerous audience willing to participate in the quest "Cresland Treasures" was not seen elsewhere before. Traffic jams developed at all entrances to the "Mega" shopping center. Only during the first hour the number of those willing to enter the Cresland country amounted to 500.The total number of people visiting the event that day was about 3.5 thousand. Small lines were formed next to playing areas. These playing areas were difficult to pass by for adults who arrived with the children in the "Mega" shopping center. Leo, Bunny and Robotop, the stars of the fairy tale were inviting every visitor to Cresland. Resisting was futile. Contests, quizzes and interesting activities took place on the bright and colorful playgrounds. These activities were exciting for both children and their parents. The most important was kept for of the end of the game. All participants were awarded with prizes and gifts in the giant promo tracks that were parked next to the main entrance to the "Mega" shopping center.
- This large-scale campaign is aimed at focusing parents’ attention on the issue of children getting hurt during motor vehicle accidents - said Svetlana Sidorova, the police-inspector on traffic safety, State Interior Ministry in "Lyubertsy" directorate. – Hopefully, both parents and drivers will bring their awareness one notch higher on the issue of children safety during transport in passenger cars.
The action is addressed to children as well as the children need to learn the basics of traveling safely in the car. Having this vital information they can always ask adults to fasten them in the car. Using the statistics and crash tests we explained to parents why driving a car without child seat these highly risky.
- In the past I was not considering the child car seat seriously; I was thinking that the seats where the part of yet another campaign - shared her thoughts Catherine, a mother of a two-year girl. - I realized just now that carrying the child in a car seat does not mean to follow someone’s instructions; this seat is required to protect the child. It was a good and instructive game. It is necessary to hold such events more often, talk more about child safety in cars on television, radio, and explain that without a car seat a car ride is dangerous. The explanation campaign should never stop. For instance, we arrived to the "Mega" shopping area without car seat and we will drive home our daughter inside the car seat as we've just bought it.
