CAR SEAT BILLBOARDS GO UP

Kern County Public Health has launched an education campaign to let parents know about a new car seat law.

Children under age two must be in a rear-facing car seat starting January 1st, a change department spokeswoman Michelle Corson says is needed because car accidents are the number one killer of kids in the U.S.

In addition to putting up billboards, Corson says they will be hosting classes to teach adults how to install the seats.
