I can't remember if this has been answered before but I couldn't find in the search facility. What are the "Baby on Board" notices for in the back of cars excatly?

They are to stop other drivers ploughing into the back of that car at 90 mph. There is a baby in it, so choose a different car.

They were designed to alert the emergency services to the fact that a baby might be trapped in the wreckage after a crash but they seem to have evolved into a way of bragging about the driver's fertility.

The emergency services actually dislike these signs now. The amount of time spent looking for a child in an rtc situation when in fact the sign was supposed to be removed frustrates them enormously.

absolutely pointless things to have-like people will change their driving just cos theres a sign in a car in front

Alas the baby type thing that drives me nuts, and should be illegal, is babies wearing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday type bibs-on the wrong day!

Drives me mental-lazy bloody parents!!!!

If they are to alert emergency services and they are used only when a child is actually in the vehicle then great. I think I get it but I can't help thinking that they are actually being used as a notice to other people to be extra careful around them like as Scunner says "if you have to smash into someone at 90mph then choose someone else cos I have a baby on board".

Far easier and cheaper in Turkey, no sign visible in the rear window as the child is quite visible - asleep across the rear parcel shelf!

As irritating as I find "baby on board" stickers, I find the other variations, such as "princess on board" & "grandma on board" etc infuriating. If I was ever on a suicide mission in the car, I'd definitely choose one of those to smash into
