As a family, we've always rather disliked these stickers because they just
seem unnecessary. People who want to tailgate will do it anyway, those
who
don't, won't. But my son - when he became a father - explained to us that
the reason for the stickers is to warn police and rescuers that there is,
indeed, a baby on board, if there's an accident.

The problem now is that most drivers leave the sticker in place when baby is
safely tucked up in bed. This causes unnecessary searches around crash sites
looking for baby.
So please if you use one. Take it out when baby is not on board.

Good point. However, in my son's case their two children's car seats are in
a car he and his wife don't use when they go out sans children. But I will
pass that on. It's a bit like people with disabled stickers using those
parking spaces when the disabled person isn't with them. Though in terms of
frequency, I suspect the latter is the greater 'crime'.
