The people carrier that pulled across the chevrons onto the sliproad causing me to emergency stop to avoid killing the little darlings had so many of these there is no way she could see out of the rear screen anyway.
Generally I take them as an indication that they will be driven by reckless distracted mothers who will blame evereryone and anyone else if they have an accident.

So the rest of us should take extra special care when we see one of these signs in another car?
How about the parent gives themselves every possible opportunity to be on the lookout for potentially dangerous situations;
Doesn't need to be difficult that, maybe start by removing all unnecessary window clutter, thus giving them maximum ability to see.

I saw one the other day that read "Proud Dad to be on board" I wanted to pull him out of the car and use my 1/2" drive breaker bar on his head until a "Beaten to death for displaying a pointless sign" would've been a more relevent addition to his car.

In fact I want a missle system fitted to my car that homes in on these signs and vapourises the car and all its occupants in a thermonuclear fireball.

If I am driving my car and the baby on board sign in the rear window makes the person behind back off a little and create a bit more room between his front bumper and my car then it's worth its weight in gold.
All those that say it's a waste of time *probably* dont have kids of their own!

Do you not think that people that don't care, don't care full stop? I mean, if you drive too close to other cars or in a dangerous manner of some sort that endangers people, why would you change that just because of the age of the passenger(s)?
This one?

I think B.O.B signs mean. "Look at me I can drive like a t
t and blame you if/when I crash into you".

Like you say, some people just dont care and you cant do anything about that but some people *may* adjust their driving and be a little more careful.
I was driving back from town the other day after doing some shopping.
I wanted to put a sign on the back that said.
"Sorry for driving like a granny, but I've got an expensive anniversary cake in the car and I don't want to destroy it."
If I know someone has a baby in their car I'll be a little more understanding about why they aren't accelerating or overtaking.
I think that in that regard it's sensible
Let other drivers know that you won't be pulling away quickly or might be breaking early for sharp corners.

The sign is an excellent idea.
I count as a hobby driving people off the road, making cars turnover, you know general uneccessary levels of violence. But I percieve this to be a grown ups pass time, and as such if I see one of these, I know not to involve them in the road based carnage.
(In all seriousness the emergency services idea probably does have legs, but only if you take it off when baby is not on board, which I bet people don't.)

The last two idiots I've seen with these signs couldn't have give a toss about the children in their car judging by the driving style and actions.
First mong was smoking with his children in the car, second fktard decided to cut across traffic on roundabout then continued on at 90+ down the a43.
So in conclusion their just used for a fertility symbol by my account.
