Seen today....grandparents onboard..
I have one in the back of my old van "Bike On Board", it was on a magazine sticker sheet years ago. Does everyone hate me now?
IIRC a long while ago there were a few dead babies found under seats and in footwells in the days when cars used to fold up in accidents and child seats weren't as advanced as they are now.
well then why don't they have signs saying "baby possibly under seats"?
lol... you sick ####.
I used to have one that said 'Baby in boot'. I made it myself 🙂
'Babe on Board' leads to disappointment practically every time.Unless they're referring to the pig of course.
Very good.
My only problem with the "baby on board sign" is that the car owners usually stick attach it the wrong windscreen.
I want one that says
"THIS IS A SIGN"
or
"CAREFUL NOW"
or
"DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING"
I'd like one that says
"Uninsured idiot with long record criminal violence on board"
Unfortunately that's the assumed default setting round my way. 🙁
If I was Shami Chakrabati I'd have one that said 'Shami Chakrabati on board', and if anyone gave me grief, I'd get out of the motor with a lump of twobefour in me hand, go up to them and say [b]'D''you know who I am? I'm Shami king Chakrabti CBE you king *. D'you king want some? Do you? D'you think you can take king Liberties with me? Have you met my Uncle Stanley? I'll sell your king liver to the Turks before you can say 'Human Rights' you two-bob bastard!'[/b]

Then I'd go to a friend's in Muswell Hill for dinner.
Have you been taking your tablets elfinsafety?
What makes you say that? 😯
If you only knew the trouble I've been through to get me Valium. I tell you, Shami would have to have a word.
'Sorry Mr Safety but because too much Valium was given out to middle-aged women in the 70's and 80's, we can't give you any. You'll just haff to suffer the nightly torment and demons trying to destroy your soul'.
Well thanks very much indeed. Don't blame me if I inadvertently graffiti a Tube train.
the emergency services aren't allowed to leave the site until the baby has been found or accounted for in the event of a crash. (from the mrs ambulance driving father)
What a big pile of steaming shite.
Like Bruneep has said we account for all in the car, window stickers make no difference. And never ever use the term Ambulance Driver.
1961Bikie - MemberThough not as baffling as the (small) 4X4 drivers who have a photo of their dogs on the spare wheel cover on the back.
C'est la vie!
Unfortunatly I actually passed a car the other day with a picture of their baby/child on the spare wheel cover!
They're placed as warnings to other drivers, much the same as the Jesus Fish, a hat / box of tissues on the parcel shelf or the inscriptions "Audi A2" or "ARC Courtesy Car".
It basically means there's a fair chance the driver is going to be barely capable of making the vehicle move, let alone controlling it whilst observing the outside world.
Look at Shami in that photo, she's had a nice trip to the Palace, nice medallion, excuse for a pair of new shoes, you would have thought she could crack a smile... 🙄
I knew a chap who was a keen gardner and he had a sticker on his car trhat read, 'Caution, show carrots in transit' ... and it wasn't even a transit, it was a Vectra.
I once saw "I'm a yummy mummy" on a rear window in the car park at Carron Valley.
Luckily no one from trading standards was nearby

Good point. She seldom smiles. Mind you, I suppose it's having to deal with other motorists and Human Rights that leaves her a bit miffed most of the time.
CBE? If you consider the work Liberty does, and Kelly Holmes gets a knighthood for having big eyes. 😯

wanty
There's a chump at our place of work who has a sign saying:
[b]Golden retriever on board[/b]
I looked into his motor yesterday and I couldn't see one. Unless it was a really small one.
This chump drives a Rover 75 ZT....estate..nuff said.
I feel this is the same as Caution Horses!
Why should we use caution? And why the **** are you driving slower than if you were riding the horse?
from the snopes link the company that made the signs was bought in '93 by dorel.
the same dorel that owns cannondale, GT, schwinn et al!!
If you are so worried about your kid that you feel the need to have a sign up:
Stop f**ing tailgating me and keep your distance so that when you finally stop looking at the back seat and realise I have stopped, you do not impale yourself on my towball.
There's a house round the corner from me has a huge poster in the window saying
"SAY NO TO POINTLESS SIGNS"
I saw a "Keep your distance I have got nine points!" sticker a few weekends ago. I thought fair point and gave him some space.
I had a "Child on Board" sticker on the Rhode Gear Taxi. I had to add "-ren" when it moved to the Kiddyback tandem. Cars always gave me loads of space. Can't think of a need in a car. If the baby is in a seat, they aren't coming out.
I'd like a sticker with number of accumulated points 😆
I've got a 'Baby on Board' one but I added 'Dead' at the top.
If I had Shami Chakrabati on board my car I'd be very pleased 'cos I think she's cute (and very brave and does a great job, I should add!).
Not sure MrsJulianA would be pleased at me having the lovely Ms Chakrabati on board, though.
you know those CRAP "one life, live it" stickers you get on suzuki jimnys and defenders alike.
Can i have a
"nine lives, F*ck it" sticker?
So, lets take a second to reflect on this. What have we got so far?
1. You put up one of these stickers if the girl down the road gives you one (so to speak) or the wife says you have to after enduring a 9 hour labour - fair shout, I say. If Mrs T told me I had to put a sign in the window saying "Mr T is a cross eyed, balding, c***weasel with a matchstick for a nadge" I'd have to oblige (I am none of these things, btw....well maybe one or two)
2. "Ambulance drivers" (quote) will hunt endlessly until they find a baby if you've got a sign, but the emergency services will want to account for everyone regardless of sticker status.
3. There are variations available to cover bulldogs, show carrots, grandparents, little people, w**kers, little princesses, show cats and cars running on fairy dust.
4. We haven't yet established whether you'll have a reckless, joyriding tailgater up the 'arris if you're displaying one of these signs, but there's a possibility that you won't.
Mmmmm. There has to be a better reason, surely? Lots of love and good vibes to you if you have one of these signs. I'm not taking it seriously or taking a dislike to it, honestly (on the contrary it makes me smile, in a good way), but why d'ya do it?
I've got a sticker on my back window that says 'singletrackworld.com'...
And your car hasn't been burnt out yet? 😯
The reason ours are there is from when our little one was in a rear facing seat, which was dark in colour in a dark car with black hole style interior (cheer up Audi and add some colour or even some middling grey, no wonder our little one prefers the Mondeo).
The seat was almost entirely below the window line and therefore wouldn't necessarily be the first thing a paramedic/police officer would spot (especially at night or in bad light) at an accident although I have no thought that they would miss it altogether.
Like (I hope) most parents I care more that the emergency services get to my child ahead of looking after me and sometimes those seconds count. I drive enough (20k+ a year) to know how quickly and seriously things can go wrong and that no f****r will drive more carefully so I do what little I can to make up for it.
It may make me look a **** but so does Lycra and I don't care about that either.
I was about a mile away from Sandringham and I saw a 20 year old Austin Montego with a "Little Princess on Board" sign.
I know there have been public service cutbacks but I thought this was shocking security.
That sounds like a good enough reason to me, garage-dweller and a good reason to go for a light interior if you've got kids :-). It's going to sound like I'm taking the p*** now, but I'm not, I swear - Wouldn't it be more effective to dress the little fella in something fluorescent so that the flashlights would pick him out? Reason I say this is because it sounds like the emergency guys pay little attention to the signs and something reflective might pick him out quicker. Alternatively, putting some 3M reflective tape on the car seat so that if it happens to go into a car without a sign, he'll be picked out without delay. Do you take the sign down when he's not in the car (to avoid a needless wild goose chase whilst you're possibly choking over a mangled steering wheel in the front) and reapply it to other vehicles if he's, say, travelling in grandparents car, taxi or even bus (if they struggle to see him in the back of a car, think how easy it would be to lose a baby on a bus - and I mean that in all seriousness)? Your reasons for doing it are entirely sensible and commendable, but I wonder how reliable these signs are. I get the impression from the emergency guys that they do a thorough check regardless. I'm not trying to sound like a smart@rse and apologies if it sounds sarcastic, but I wonder whether this use of the signs stands up to scrutiny and whether there are better ways of protecting these little ones should the unthinkable happen.

To be honest, if we had an accident in either car, there'd be toys, board books, dolls, teddies, kids clothes, packets of wipe, nappies, drinking straws, half eaten chewy bars and all sorts of crap scattered all over the car anyway. I think this might be a giveaway 🙂
Plus, the sight of a car seat is as reliable an indicator of baby presence as a sign.
I reckon a surefire way of getting someone to shunt your rear bumper would be to have a sign in the rear window saying "Wedding Cake In Transit"
Shouldn't Boris be running some sort of safety initiative for TfL to hand out little portable "Baby on board" signs that parents can keep in their bags to temporarily apply to the window when travelling with babies by bus or tube? Also - and I really have too much time on my hands at the moment and will go now (I'm doing some very boring work on the computer this evening and keep getting drawn back to this thread) - I've done a google search and nobody makes reflective jackets for babies. A gap in the market for some aspiring entrepreneur, surely?
Best one I ever saw was " perfect family on board" !!!!!!!!
I nearly crashed laughing at that one lol
Caz xx
Massive lorries with the word 'Horses' written on the back irritate me....
a) it's properly obvious it's horse box
b) what do you want a round of applause?
I used to have "never underestimate the power of a sick mind" sticker on my Volvo 440. People gave me wide berth, or could just be because was driving volvo 🙂
it's properly obvious it's horse box
Only because you've seen so many of them with Horses written across the back 🙂
What they all really mean is "bloke with fully functional sperm on board"
