You know what I'm talking about - the little stickers of people that families put on their rear windows. You've got Dad, Mom, kids, dog, cat, etc. Sometimes it's just Dad or Mom.....sometimes you can see where Dad or Mom was torn off (ouch). Do you have a stick figure family on your car?
Personally, I don't do bumper stickers or windshield stickers on my car. I am amused when I see the families that have like 10 kids going across the back of their church van, though.

Nope. DH hates them and won't allow it. Why tell strangers what type of family you have at home? Seems like it would make it easier for predators to target young kids, since the stickers show that little Johnny has 2 sisters, or whatever. Maybe we are just paranoid.

@highwire: I agree. I've always thought that they give too much information about the family.

No I'm not a fan of stick figure car decals or bumper stickers. especially stickers that say where your kid goes to school or where you work because its giving too much information.

Oh dear god, no. I feel like here, so many cars have it to show how big the family is.
Though I did see a great one the other day in reaction to the typical 6 kid family here. It had a stick figure guy with a briefcase, hat and tie and a stick figure woman with a briefcase. Sort of like a "Screw you, we're childless professionals!" I thought it was sort of cool.

Lol you know ppl can easily gather all the information they need about you from your license plate alone...such as your home address!
I don't have them, but think it's cute. I've never seen a mom or dad torn off though!

@Rachel: I need to annonymously donate that to one of my co-workers.. haha. SO funny.
I have told my husband NO stick figures, NO school bumper stickers, NONE of that stuff. I don't like to publicize what we are, who we are or what we have.

My best friend is a single mom, and a nurse- the one on the back of her car is a nurse with a syringe and a little boy- it cracks me up bc it looks like she is giving the little boy a shot.
I think they are cute, but I won't be putting one on my car

@Rachel: hahahhahha. I would totally put that on my car, even though we don't have any cats. My husband might even go along with it!

I think they are cute but doubt I will get them because DH is not a fan of them. He reminds me that it didn't work out that well for the family on Dexter. He saw this and thought it was funny. http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2012/05/stick-figure-family-parody.jpg

God, no. I don't have a car due to New York living, but if I did there's no way. Just... ugh.

Nope, not a huge fan of stickers on cars.
Although, that reminds me I can't wait to go up to Bronner's Christmas store to get decorations that have similar "family" characters

No, Im with @Highwire on this one. I dont want to be advertising to anyone. And @dc yoga bee: thats very true, but theres nothing to draw a predator to your car with just the license plate. Putting these stickers on there is screaming "I HAVE KIDS!" so anyone who might be out scouring now has an easy target.

not a fan of stickers of any sort on my car, but they can be cute on other people's cars. maybe once DH & i have a LO, we'll be into such things, but right now, i doubt it.
as far as it letting people you know you have a LO, i think most people would be able to guess by looking at your car/in your car window whether or not you have kids. for example: if you have a minivan with a giant pink floral britax, it screams 'i have a little girl!' whether you put a little girl sticker in the back window or not.

I'm not a fan of those. I like stickers on my car (because my car is a crappy tuna can, so it's not like the stickers are making it less "classy"), but I wouldn't put those on.

@Mrs. Jacks: I love that!
I definitely roll my eyes when I see an SUV or van with those stickers... they are not for me.
