"Baby On Board!"

[MaggieTheCat]

There are these stickers that parents can get to put on their cars that announce that there is a "baby on board" their vehicle. Have you guys seen them? What do you think of them? For some reason, they really annoy the hell out of me. Honestly, I don't care if there is a baby in your car. It is not going to make me drive any more or less safely than I normally do. I'm not going to forgive you any more than the next person if you drive like an ass. I just don't understand why people have to announce to everyone on the road that they have a baby.

As a side note, I find it amusing and somewhat ironic that people put these sticks right in the middle of their rear windows.

When I have children, the "sign" that I have a baby on board will be the fact that I am driving the Tumbler from Batman Begins

That thing's for wimps, get yourself a Stryker

No matter what text said sticker may have, anything on the rear window always means: "Dear God, I'm driving and I cant stop!"

Yup, see them all the time, my thoughts are a little dark, they go something like this "Hey, 10 point bonus for that one" GTA style.

Nope, Sir Integra... Strykers are not propelled by rocket engines. And they certainly don't come with a secret machine-gun armed motorcycle.

The late great George Carlin had something to say about those. Something like, "You know what they're saying? 'We know you're a shitty driver most of the time, but because our child is nearby, we expect you to straighten up for a few miles!' So I'm supposed to alter my driving habits because some woman forgot to put her diaphragm in!"

I've seen them, but not in about 20 years. Are they back?

I don't see them everywhere, but they're not too uncommon, around here at least. I saw one yesterday which made me think about starting this thread.

"Baby on Board
How I've adored
That sign on my cars windowpane"

My personal favorite is the Jesus fish decal on a vehicle usually driving very recklessly or excessively speeding and weaving around everyone.

[Fryk]

That's because God is their copilot.

[blas87]

Oh, and he's also apparently pro-life.

The way some of those nutsos drive, I'm thinking they may want to save the babies, but no one else....outta my way, I'm late for work!

Actually, they were originally made in the 80s and they're not to warn other drivers to be 'extra careful' around them, they're to warn paramedics and police that there is an infant present in the car in case of a catastrophic accident.

*shrug* Leastways, that's what I've always heard.

The best drivers have Cthulhu fish, his ultimate powers make for great co-pilot awareness.

I've got a variant on that:

Or rather, I *used* to have one. It's been removed from my car twice now, and I've reordered with a spare. (I'd like to think it just somehow fell off, but, mysteriously, the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum sticker next to it has never done so.) Not because I'm particularly fond of all the connotations attached to either the fish or the rainbow flag (I'm not, but the combination expresses what I want to say better than anything else available), nor because I like having ugly stickers on my car, but because I believe people need reminding that the combination exists. But I'm generally a well-bahaved driver, and have a good record
