This is for people in California only (or, I suppose, people who have recently visited). Other than this site or other sources that only a CPST/car seat nut would be likely to frequent, where and what have you heard about California's new child restraint law? (Newspaper article, TV segment, ad, handouts from a pediatrician/hospital, etc.)
Basically I'm wondering how run-of-the-mill parents have found out/will find out about the law. Because I have heard nothing (other than through CPST sources).
I emailed Caltrans to suggest they use electronic freeway signs to publicize the change. Someone in their public affairs department wrote back to say it was a good idea, but direction would have to come from the CHP or DMV.
I then wrote to my contact at CHP, who checked with Sacramento and said that they would not be using freeway signs but that CHP and other agencies are heavily publicizing it in other ways. (Would it kill them to put "Child Restraints until 8 years/4'9" "?) Anyway.
