If a car in front of me is driving annoyingly slow and I catch up to them all angry, I immediatley calm down when I see that sign. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-566097 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 09:30:59 +0000 HLK208 566097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure why everyone thinks they are so bad! I don't have one but when we had our car seat checked by the fire department, they said they like those signs to know right away if there is a baby in the car in the case of a bad accident? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-566078 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 09:23:13 +0000 Sammyfab 566078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate them!! But I will respect a driver who has the sign and is driving cautiously in the proper lane....but if you're going super slow in the left lane I will still ride your ass sign or no sign. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-566038 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 09:10:06 +0000 msmay 566038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so surprised at the anti-BoB sign sentiments! I was thinking of getting one, but now I'm reevaluating... I especially didn't consider the extra target for kidnappers :/ Maybe I'll just get a sign that says, "I drive slowly, so just go ahead and pass me. Riding my a** won't make me go faster!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-566017 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 09:00:07 +0000 MsLipGloss 566017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: I had never thought about the BoB sign working for the HOV lane! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-565979 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 08:38:54 +0000 MrsLilybugg 565979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a careful driver, but am extra careful when I see a car with a BonB sign. I also am less impatient if they.are slow. Never felt negatively toward them. People in Boston love to tailgate. I always wanted a mechanism that would make a hand flip off tailgaters from back window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-565698 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:13:54 +0000 LaineysMom 565698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that they're super annoying and do do much in the realm of safety. The only reason why I will get one is to avoid being pulled over by CHP while in the carpool lane. LO's carseat is in the back-middle spot and is so hard to see! Plus, my windows are kind of tinted (to the legal limit!). We have a family friend who used to get pulled over once a week because CHP wouldn't see his passenger.. The day that this happens to me I will buy the stupid sign. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-565692 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:11:00 +0000 MrsRcCar 565692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly I have a BonB sign to more easliy spot my car..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-565677 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 23:06:11 +0000 luckypenny 565677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Id say yes. And if they are, once I look back at them they usually back off then. Don't mess with a protective mama lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-565350 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:40:23 +0000 MsMini 565350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are obnoxious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-565349 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:40:21 +0000 Freckles 565349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While i would never have a sign in my car, i actually get annoyed when i see a really reckless/aggressive driver with a BoB sign! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-565298 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:28:45 +0000 mamabolt 565298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought they were silly but I recently read they are to tell emergency responders to look for an infant in case of a serious accident. If that's the case I don't mind them so much, still won't be getting one myself though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs/page/2#post-565147 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:00:16 +0000 yoursilverlining 565147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: do you find that people tailgate you less with the BonB sign? (honest question). I like to think I'm a pretty considerate driver (I never tailgate, pet peeve of mine), but I hate those signs. But maybe I'm the minority? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-565108 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:47:49 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 565108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have one on my car and I don't intend to get one for my next car, even though I'll be carrying two LO's. For me, it's just a silly little thing, kinda like those stickers along the back glass for families. Sure, there are some really funny versions of those families but for the most part it just seems silly, superfluous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-565100 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:45:46 +0000 rachiecakes 565100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't usually pay attention to them - unless they're driving like an a-hole. Then I most definitely honk, roll down my window and tell them what a crappy parent they are for driving like a jerk with a 'baby on board'.<br /> Can't help it, it's the Bostonian in me. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-565087 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:42:21 +0000 wheres_c 565087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @arden.<br /> The less others know about our family the better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564906 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:57:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 564906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Did you know they are revamping the Baby on Board sign?</p> <p><a href="http://www.21st.com/landing-pages/en/baby-on-board.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.21st.com/landing-pages/en/baby-on-board.jsp</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564900 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:56:37 +0000 MrsH 564900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think they do anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564894 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:55:28 +0000 Sweet T 564894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I was going to say the same thing! I feel like it advertises your vulnerability more than anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564844 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:43:36 +0000 shopaholic 564844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: That's how I always felt the signs were useful-ish. So people wouldn't tail you too closely? But if they are so widely disregarded, I wouldn't want to draw more attention to myself.</p> <p>@Arden: SCARY thought! I never even thought of it that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564819 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:38:42 +0000 Dandelion 564819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@arden: I agree...I feel like it's advertising where to kidnap babies from! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564805 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:34:43 +0000 luckypenny 564805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I use it more because I don't want people tailing me. Rear end collisions are so common on our freeway that is like people to give me a little exta room incase we all have to slam on the breaks...not because I need the right away. Maybe that's not the case for everyone </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564794 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:32:36 +0000 .twist. 564794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I tend to agree. I feel like (not accusing, just personal thoughts!) it gives the parent an excuse to drive poorly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564789 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:31:41 +0000 luckypenny 564789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: whoa. Didn't even think of this! *shudders* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564786 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:31:18 +0000 yoursilverlining 564786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It always seems like the people with those signs are way worse drivers than everyone else, and I think they are attention-whoreish. Like, OMG *you* have a baby....well, everyone on the road, give the parent the right of way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564778 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:29:34 +0000 heartonastring 564778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly have never understood their purpose. It's not like someone's going to say, "OH! There's a baby in that car! In that case I won't hit it!" People don't get in accidents because they want to...they get in accidents because, well, they're accidents :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564777 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:29:12 +0000 BSB 564777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Haha. Yeah, it's funny. When I get home from work, I need to watch it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564776 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:29:06 +0000 sarac 564776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Same. I certainly don't drive any differently around them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-on-board-signs#post-564769 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 19:27:20 +0000 .twist. 564769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I had to go look up the clip.
