Hi Tim
At a glance. I think the question on your website needs to be much more prominent. The print is too small and I need to scroll down to see it.
Secondly, it seems like the specific audience you are trying to reach with the question is parents, to be honest it will probably be mums. Do you know that this is the audience on your website / facebook? You could try reaching out directly to places where mums already hang out like mums.net<http://mums.net> (twitter / facebook / discussion forums) and asking the questions there? Jump on a few hashtags and start off some new discussion threads.
Just an idea that 's worked for me before,
Kate

Chaps and chapesses I'd like your advice, please.
We're fast approaching the UK school holidays, so, as webmaster, twitter and facebook person for Dartmouth Museum I thought "Ask your buying public what special offers they would like to see." So I have. On Facebook we have a "question" and we also have the same question in the left hand margin of every gosh-darned page on our reasonably extensive and well visited web site.
So far, after solid promotion, we have precisely two answers.
I'm not putting the url of http://dartmouthmuseum.org/ here to ask you chaps to give us your answers to the question, I'm putting it here so you can tell me how I can do better. If you intend to visit us over the summer, do, please, ask for the offer you'd like us to run, otherwise, please help me to stop banging my head against the brick wall by giving me a hard slap and telling me what I'm not doing well enough!
