Kudos to Officer Traci Rebiejo of Livermore, CA

On "View from the Bay" they were interviewing Officer Traci Rebiejo from the Livermore Police Dept about child car seat safety. She went through the basics of correct harness positioning/tightness and how to tell when the baby outgrows the infant seat (though she mentioned 6-8 mths, and 22 lbs which is obviously car seat specific - appeared to be a Peg seat). Then said they should be moved to a convertible, still rear facing. Ok, this is the best part....

the news-guy asked, "what's the law" on when to turn them around? It appeared she intentionally didn't mention the "law", but said it's recommended that you keep them rear-facing to the limits (meaning weight) of the carseat or head 1" from the top of the shell!!! :thumbsup:

AND, even though I believe the CA law is still 6 or 60 lbs, she commented kids should remain in a booster till their 8th birthday (or till they pass the 5 pt test!!)!

Cool! I got an email from her saying she'd be on TV, I'm glad it was good! (Used to live right there, but never got to work with her :()

I saw her post on the CPSPList, too! It's great that a CPST actually promoted something more than the bare minimum on TV. :)
