I dont like the princess or even prince ones as dont like all that 'princess' stuff. Even tho I dont have girls I'm sure I wouldn't of gomne down that route

I fdid have a baby on board duck in a sling on the side window but DS tends to pull it off. I sorta hoped it might say....Please dont park 6" away from my door so I cant get my child back in but doesnt seem to work

The one on the back window is mine... A 'Lah Lah on board' tellytubby one

my friend had a great one that said... 'who cares who's on board'!

normansmum · 12/02/2009 14:32

I dont like them so don't have one. the one that does get me is one by us that says perfect family on board and the rest of us aren't?!

PuzzleRocks · 12/02/2009 14:33

Each to their own, I don't have them simply because they don't serve any purpose. A tosspot on the road is not going to moderate his tosspot driving just because we have children on board.

PuzzleRocks · 12/02/2009 14:35

at nightcrawly. I would have that one.

I saw a 'baby on board' slogan on a T-shirt stretched tight over a pregnant belly. Did not think much of that either.

I certainly prefere "Little princess on board" to "Little Miss Naughty on board"!

PurpleCrazyHorse · 12/02/2009 16:40

But should I have a sign at all - why do I want one??!

No you aren't the only one Mayor Quimby. I hate all of them, even plain baby on board.

They are pointless, and making an announcement that is of no interest to anyone but the parents.

I want one that says I don't give a shit who you have on board.

Martha200 · 12/02/2009 22:15

I do not have one of these signs, never have.
If I think from the emergency services point, well I think they would assess the situation and prioritise with who needs help most urgently though still with the aim to rescue all passengers. All life is valid no matter ones age.

Also many cars I see with them often don't have the kids in the back, so is meaningless.

Finally I have seen a 'mum to be' sign.. don't think I could have one of those, for me that would be tempting fate or something.

Helen31 · 13/02/2009 12:47

These signs do vaguely annoy me, as they have always made me think people thought that it made any difference to how other people would drive - I wanted one that says "People on board. Please try not to kill us".

But thanks to this thread, I see that for people who like them, it's just because they're happy to be parents, which is fair enough. So I learnt something today. And will try to stop looking down on people who have them.

carmenelectra · 13/02/2009 13:07

I hate all those signs. Proper chavtastic.

Who cares who you have on board. If they are there to hope that people will drive more carefully then i think that you have no chance.A idiot driver wouldnt give a toss.

"it might just make that person who dangerously tries to overtake wait a second for it to be safe"

If anyone believed that then surely every car would have one, child or not!

I agree that chav is overused.

I also agree that 'little princess...' is horrible.

LoveMyLapTop · 13/02/2009 13:31

Have read the whole thread and have come to the conclusion that
I couldnt give a toss one way or the other

MrsSeanBean · 13/02/2009 16:26

lovemylaptop...the beauty of AIBU!

I saw a Grandparent on board sticker today. As vomit inducing as Princess on Board.
