Baby On Board


Yuppie car rear-window signs proclaiming the presence of an ankle-biter in the car.

The signs originated in 1985 as a way of informing rescue workers that there was a baby in the vehicle - toddlers were apparently often thrown some distance from car-wrecks and may go unnoticed.

They were also intended to generally alert other motorists of the presence of a young 'un in the car (presumably in case they hadn't already heard the crying and screaming).

Became in the 1980's what the rear-window rainbow sticker was in the late 70's - or the Christian 'fish' sticker.

Like we cared why you were such a shitty driver!
