she is the reason we have mandatory car seat laws!

 

Chalupa was born in Davis, California, to Tanya Keis and Leo M. Chalupa, both Ukrainian immigrants.[4][1][5][6] Tanya was born in a United Nations refugee camp in Heidenheim, Germany after World War II.[5] Tanya's and Leo's parents brought them to the United States as children seeking asylum from the Soviet Union, and they grew up in the Bronx, New York.[5] As a couple, they moved to California, where Leo earned a PhD in neuroscience from UCLA and became a professor at UC Davis.[5]

 

When Chalupa was 2โ€“1/2, her life was saved by a child car seat when her parent's car spun out of control and crashed while traversing the Alps in Italy.[1][5] The incident led her mother to single-handedly wage a successful 2-year lobbying campaign in the California legislature for a mandatory child safety seat law that passed in 1982.[1][5]

 

Chalupa attended Davis Senior High School, pursued peace and conflict studies at UC Berkeley, and received her J.D. degree from UC Davis.[4]
