Whatever about 'Baby on Board' Stickers in cars and 'Princess on Board' and the more ridiculous stickers which have evolved since this novelty began
Just a bit of an aside - on the "Baby on Board" stickers. Im always surprised that they seem to generate such negative reactions. They do, as far as I understand, serve a real purpose.
I believe you are meant to have one if you have a baby in a car seat facing backwards (which is usually the case until the baby is 11kg).
Well, if that's correct then the sticker should be taken down when the baby is not in the car.
That doesn't sound right.
Most of us drive with caution all the time, a sticker won't make you drive more carefully,they are nonsense.
The "baby on board" sticker notifies the driver behind you that there is a baby on board and to take extra care so as not to go into the back of the car in front of them
I think they are ridiculous, is the idea not to avoid hitting cars anyway??

Like i regularly drive into the back of other cars but because i see the sticker, gosh i better not. Load of rubbish in my opinion.
Once a car is in motion on a public road it is fair to assume that there is at least one "person" on board and due care, as required by the rules of the road should be observed by all other drivers. That person is of equal value as a person whether aged 1 or 101 and a sign to indicate the status of that individual is, to me, irrelevant.
The idea is to take extra precaution Ciaraella.
I didnt mean to drag this thread off topic from Wallys initial complaint which is a valid one. Sorry Wally.
agree with this statementThat person is of equal value as a person whether aged 1 or 101 and a sign to indicate the status of that individual is, to me, irrelevant.
I suppose i'm biased in that i think car stickers, including the one the OP describes are a ridiculous distraction and I think very irritating but in terms of the 'Baby on Board' stickers by the same logic should we not have 'Elder on Board', 'Toddler on Board' etc. As in for toddler on board we should be more careful then if there was no child but less careful as we would if there's a baby on board??

Bottom line is people should drive carefully all the time and the age, number of people etc in other cars should have nothing to do with it.
I am open to correction but this is my understanding of the - baby on board - sticker.
You need to get over this type of thing.No doubt some of you may respond to say I need to get over this type of thing, and stop expecting the world to sympathise with my infertility issues.
Indeed. They, along with Man Utd and 98 stickers amongst others, serve the purpose of restricting the view through the rear window.Just a bit of an aside - on the "Baby on Board" stickers.

That's crazy talk.I believe you are meant to have one if you have a baby in a car seat facing backwards. .
