What to do when you want a 'baby on board' sign but have blacked out rear windows?

Can anyone tell I'm internet shopping tonight? This is my second 'where can I buy' thread!

I was once told that the baby on board signs were actually useful as if (heaven forbid) you were ever in a car accident and the emergency services see it, they will immediately search for the baby first. IMO well worth having then.

The only problem is that our new car has a blacked out rear window so you can't see the old sign in it. Does anyone know if you can get an exterior sign or do you think the same sign in any other window would still get the emergency services attention (I know they usually look in the lower right hand corner of your rear window)?

Helsi, seriously think you should contact mn, it would be so funny and raise money for charidee . Great things come from daft threads!

My dh is a firefighter and he says that they do not look for bob signs in a car,(cos as some of you have said baby not always in the car even though sign is and not everyone has them when baby is in the car) they just scour the car for evidence of children and ask the occupants about who was in the car and he agrees that if a child is correctly strapped in and so is the car seat it should still be in the back seat.

tc - I'm trying to find the original bat thread for you but I can't. it's a stupid game. You have to get people to click on links thinking that they are real links, like this one

Satine · 04/07/2005 22:58

Brilliant idea but please, could we avoid the phrase "on board" ..I'm one of the group who dislikes baby on board stickers and as for "little person" or "princess on board" well, words fail me.

helsi · 04/07/2005 22:58

have contacted mn with my idea. will let you all know the outcome on a seperate thread.

CliqueMeister · 04/07/2005 22:58

How about

"You don't have to be bats to be a parent, but it helps"

Having a very funny moment imagining really having a princess on board... the queen could have one in her car if the grandchildren came round!
