| 264937 | 2004-08-24 10:26:00 | Something that I've wondered about for a long time is those stickers on the back car windows that say "Baby on Board". I've asked a number of people, including parents of rug rats and no one knows what the stickers are supposed to mean - except for one person who said it might be there to warn motorists that the driver might be distracted by the baby so to keep a good distance from their car. Any other ideas of what "Baby on Board" is supposed to mean, serious or not so serious? :^O Or any other stupid car stickers ya wanna bring up? |

| 264938 | 2004-08-24 10:30:00 | One that I like better than the meaningless "baby on board" is "mother-in-law in boot" | godfather (25) | ||
| 264939 | 2004-08-24 10:33:00 | It means back off,take extra care,do not ram my car I have a baby onboard. I agree they are stupid,people generally don't ram others on purpose,and those that do won't be pausing to read whose in the car before impact. |

| 264940 | 2004-08-24 10:37:00 | i think the orginal idea was to let people know their was a baby in the car so in an emergency they would know to look for a baby. however now its a case of "don't crash into me i have a baby on board", like it makes any difference ! :( |

Yeah, that's what I first thought but then like you say, no one rams a car on purpose (unless deranged and then no sticker would make a diff I guess) so then I thought there must be a more esoteric meaning . But maybe it is just another stupid sticker????? Dunno, I have even asked nurses and those who work with kids . |

| 264944 | 2004-08-24 10:50:00 | Tweak'e: yep, thot of that also, but then this is assuming that everytime someone drives the car, the baby is actually on board. Surely for most car trips the baby would not be on board but I doubt if the sticker is then covered up. Metla seems to be on track... >you have to take into consideration the mentality of the mothers who would purchase one thunking it is usefull. :^O :^O |

| 264945 | 2004-08-24 10:52:00 | They are supposed to make you think about your driving. Bit like those crosses that are on the side of the road. The idea is to make people think "If I drive like an idiot and hit a car then there may just be a baby on board that I might be responsible for killing" or something along those lines. |

Evidently the judges changed the score after the crowd carried on for ten minutes!! Must have been a first for this sort of thing at an Olympics?!?! Ha! Power to the people! | Steve_L (763) | ||
