Billboards to change the world

OK, with all of this presidential hoo-haw here in the states, I am starting my campaign for 2012 (I'm not old enough to run in this election). One of the key points of my "change the world" platform is increased child passenger safety. I really think we need to start renting all of the advertisement billboards and put up safety messages rather than pie advertisements. I have my own ideas about ads for other political issues, and I think humor has a good place for some of them.

So, what are some ideas you'd put up on a board about CP safety? Something like...

"Keep your baby rear-facing to age 2. That way when she throws her bottle, it won't hit you in the back of the head while you're driving."

I need something to keep my husband awake at night with , heehee

I'm a bit more direct. I'd have a picture of a carseat next to a coffin with something about money, maybe the carseats are heaper than caskets line. Then maybe one with options a)car seat b)wheelchair c)coffin. As far as humor goes...
"Rearfacing toddlers...one less backseat driver to deal with."

How about something with an injured/disabled adult or a child's gravestone from the 70s and a tag line like... "maybe nothing happend to YOU, but all kids back then weren't so lucky."

Extended harnessing creates harmony on the road.

(A picture on the left of a car full of kids leaning out the windows, jumping on the seats, etc.)

(A picture on the right of the younger ones sitting calmly in 5-point harnesses, while their older siblings in boosters read them a story.)

I totally agree with that... Someone on a local board was posting that baby proofing is just something that over protective parents do today b/c it's a new trend. This person went on to say that clearly kids were fine w/o baby proofing when he was a kid since he's okay so why should we baby proof today. I was so frustrated that he was so naive.

Whenever I get the "But WE were fine and never used carseats/seatbelts" I ask them if they were ever in an accident. Their response is usually "Ummmm...."

This is more of a general car safety slogan rather than a child passenger safety specific one, and I've seen it on a few bumper stickers directed at cell phone users: "Hang up and drive."
