I don't think I've seen those either.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You've really never seen these, tommy?
Oh, I might have seen that once or twice.
I haven't been driving much in recent years.

Wouldn't you have to do scrapings every few years with Baby, Youth and Teenager (possibly also adult).

That just draws attention to the fact your SUV is not new.
Oh, I want a "Flux Capacitor on Board" sign. Which reminds me of an idea I had to make a Flux Capacitor (including flashing lights) for my bike....

There actually was a point to Baby On Board signs. It was to prevent a tragedy like the one that happened to a neighbor (decades ago). They were in a crash, with an infant and were rescued unconscious. The rescue workers did not know to look for an infant, and so infant was looked for and the body recovered only after they regained consciousness in the hospital. I don't if they are still needed. With modern infant car seats, and baby toys scattered around most cars with infants probably will provide rescue workers with enough clues. But I'm still not sure it is a bad idea. And yeah it is irritating, and most people with those signs probably are not thinking about that anyway.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Wow - I had no idea people were taking Baby On Board signs so personally.
To me it's the equivalent of a Student Driver sign - more or less a shorthand for "there is a reason this car in front of you may be going slightly slower than you think they should be."

I think a "Driver talking on cell phone" would be more useful. We'd know why s/he was driving slowly, failing to use turn signals, wandering in and out of the proper lane, rolling through stop lights . . .
Maybe they could throw in a siren or something, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
a shorthand for "there is a reason this car in front of you may be going slightly slower than you think they should be."
I get TB's reasoning, but the car in front of me is often going slower than I think it should be. Cellphone, child, passenger, radio, iPod, just how they drive. I don't see the point to telling me about it.
Are you telling me you're going to be driving badly? Then that's a whole different problem.
