I think the point is missed here. When I asked a neighbor why they had a 
"Child in Car" sign, they said it was to inform rescue personal that 
they should look for a child in the car. The neighbors mentioned that 
they had bought it before they had a child seat and were worried that in
the case of an accident their kid could end up in a not so obvious place.
(I believe she mentioned under the seat as one such place.) Although 
somewhat macabre it sort of makes sense. They also have a "Child in House"
for the firefighters.
