Car seat checks at schools

Has anyone ever heard of any program to do checks at schools or provide information to parents. I realize most just don't want to hear it, but it makes my stomach sick seeing the cars when I drop off/pick up DD from school. There is a line of 50 cars for kindergarten and 1st graders and maybe 10 have seats. Every child I saw getting out this morning while I talked to the admin there didn't have a seat. It's so sad. Ugh, as I typed this some teenagers just drove by sitting in the back of a truck.

This is one of the reasons I became a tech! I work for a a school and want to set up some kind of annual check in Sept/Oct for the pre-k-k kids. Actually, I should open it up to all elementary kids/parents. I need to start small though I think.

Not sure about all areas and schools - but I am working with our county's Safe Kids to set up a seat check at our private preschool. She said that they can do it as long as there is enough room to have the check go on without interferring with traffic in the parking lot.

Yeah, I don't think a voluntary check would really work. I like the police at the loading line though I'm not sure how the school would feel. We just moved here so maybe I will bring it up at a parent meeting.

My dd's school in Johnson City TN (where we just moved from) did a seat check (voluntary, after hours) last year, when she was in K. We weren't able to attend, but I'd had my seats checked fairly recently at the local university's CPS center.
