I have site collection ex: http://microsoft.com/ and i got few child webs:

http://microsoft.com/news/

http://microsoft.com/somethingelse/

   <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <ContentType ID="0000"
                Name="News"
               Group="my froup"
               Description="Page layout for intranet news."
               Inherits="TRUE"
               Version="0">    
    <FieldRefs>
      <FieldRef ID="{3B5B07A0-68DB-4BF6-AAAE-87B77CE430C6}" Name="LookupToPages" />
    </FieldRefs>
  </ContentType>
</Elements>

I added this content type to Web scoped feature.

When i am creating site collection and then child webs i got situation where content type created only on root site.

Web feature is activated on both root and child sites.

You can only have Content types at Site or List level. So, even if your feature is scoped as web the Content types will be added to the Site level (at root web). From there on, content type will be available, to be added to the lists and document libraries in all webs and so on.
