Saw this posted in another forum. A new law is proposed in Chicago, here is the gist of it:

City Hall would be responsible for maintaining a list of certified seat installers – both private and not-for-profit – that people could access via a phone number or web site. That information would be posted on signs displayed near where child safety seats are sold in stores, and the signs also would include child seat guidelines, according to the proposal.

Interesting, especially given how clueless most people are about proper carseat use. Makes me wonder why the bill's sponsor is coming from that he thinks it is important.

Sounds like a good idea. The attorney's comments were annoying. In my ideal world in order to sell car seats retailers would have to have a trained CPST on site :whistle: . I am sure the financial burden for that would be greater than posting a sign.

I'm wondering if this law might start retailers (especially specialty retailers) thinking about taking the extra step in customer service and having a staff member trained as a CPST... Maybe wishful thinking. :)
