I don't know how true this is, but I heard that the original idea of them was so that the emergency services know that there's a kid in the car in the event of an accident - some bad story about a baby being lost in a car fire cos the car was such a mess nobody saw the kid - first they knew about it was when the parents re-gained consciousness.

Unfortunately these signs are left in the cars all the time even when the babies/kids aren't in there......Rescue services could end up looking for kids when there aren't any, yet endangering themselves even more  :-k  8-[

The case in question it was a baby and had slid under the front seats in the impact. I beleive that the recovery firm found it several days later.

I can seriously see their usefulnees, its just that fact that people seem to think it makes them immune to the laws of the road.

landybabe:
Of course they are of value if they are used as they were intended...So remove them if your children are not travelling in the car at the time. Give one to family and friends for when they carry your children.
Yes, It means taking a little more time and making a little more effort. But it could mean life or death to somebody either way  :-k  :-k

On the other hand people who drive like p***s don't necessarily start driving any better just cos they've become parents whether the kids are in the car or not.....  [-X

MudRat:
I intend to put a sign in my car when my kid is born that says "BABY ON BOARD, PLEASE CRASH INTO SOMEONE ELSE!"  :twisted:

My wife has one in her car for our 10month old daughter.
I think its a good idea to let others know but I dont think it makes a bad driver any better. I still get people tailgating me !
The thing that ges me is people who park in parent and child spaces wih no kids.
I know it may sem a shallow arguement but as any parent will know the extra space at the side is usefull when trying to get a child into their seat or if they are in an infant carrier.
