OP here, I actually KIND OF understand the "Baby on Board" thing -- it's a safety precaution. But the stick figures are not! So where does one purchase these stick figures? It seems that you need to seek them out, b/c I don't see them everywhere for sale.

Really? You can see the point of the "Baby on Board" signs? As if other drivers think "I was going to mindlessly ram the back of your car because I don't care other people, my own safety, or my car insurance premiums, but you have a baby so I guess I won't." Those signs seem stupider to me.

Who cares if people have these stickers? I don't get why you all care so much about what other people do with their cars.

Aww for a second I thought you meant Ironman as in Tony Stark. I was gonna ask where you found them.

Or perhaps it'll be Mom + Lovecratianesque Monstrosity + Adorable Little Things That Should Not Be

At the mountains of adorableness...

STFU, OP. Who do you think you are? The stickers are totally fine. To each his/her own.

This is old DCUM BS.

AAA estimates that car stickers cause 15% of all traffic accidents and is pushing to ban them.

Oh hi! We must be kindred spirits.... My DH and I also invent funny variations on these stickers for our nonexistent minivan. It all started with.... Mistress doing naughty things to Dad + Dad + Mom + kids + dogs...

"Baby on Board - The three most puke-inducing words man has yet come up with. . . . I'm supposed to change my driving habits because some woman forgot to put her diaphram in? A treat for me! Why don't you put up an honest sign - Asshole at the Wheel!"

- George Carlin, "What am I Doing in New Jersey"

Actually, for me, when i put the 'baby on board' sticker on my car, it wasn't because i expected other drivers to drive differently - it was to give other drivers a heads up about why i was driving cautiously and observing speed limits, sriving slower and more carefully in general, etc.

I'm a pudgy, pony-tailed, minivan-driving mom. Maybe these stickers are what will finally complete me.

Off to the store! Toodles!

I"m a pudgy, sometimes-pony-tailed, non-minivan-driving, WOHM and I really don't like those stickers at all!! I think they are so supremely stupid! I feel like they were popular in the South first and have made their way up here, bc I used to see them all the time when visiting relatives down in SC, then my friend in Richmond posted about them, and now I just feel like they are ubiquitous around here! Blegh! Stupid!

I hated the baby on board stickers, but they really became a big thing way before I had kids.

I find myself now with two kids, no mini van, and thinking those family stickers are cute. My husband despises them. I think the artwork is sort of cute, and the personalizations are kinda fun.

What has become of me? I also wore my hair in a ponytail all weekend.

It's all over, isn't it?

They are annoying. I don't care to know about your family make-up. It's none of my business, I am a stranger to you.

Why is there such a need to display this?

In my neighborhood they say, "Look at me, I am young enough, fertile enough, and rich enough to have four children and send them all to private school (see other sticker/magnet), AND still drive this stupidly large silver Lexus SUV."

Typically driven by very thin, often mean women.
