They block part of your view, and what is the fucking point?
You're a breeder, congrats. You don't NEED one to park in the
supermarket family spaces. It's not quite like a disabled badge.
I've been learning that it's the cages with the shit stuck to the
windows and the soft toys on the dash that are the most annoying/dangerous.

Waste of space.
Will she take it out when no baby on board ?
Will you take it out when no baby on board ?
Does seeing one make people drive safer ? Or does it make them come up
close to read it ?

I really like M&S stuff, it's pretty cheap and withstands a lot of washing.
It fits nicely, comfortably and makes me feel sexy without being slutty.
I think in recent years they've managed to hit my demographic quite
nicely and I enjoy giving them my money.
I also got car insurance off them. Turned into a review of M&S that,
didn't it?
I tend to get socks from next though :/

Yup. I believe the original purpose was so that in the event of an accident
the rescue services might think to look for a baby. But as no-one removes
them from the cage when the kid's not there they're pointless. Nowadays it's
just used to promote the fact that you have procreated.

They're no better and no worse than any other stickers that people put

I don't think a fixed sticker in the back is any worse than the

It's the crap you often see swinging from the interior mirror that
bothers me more. Wouldn't such dull your sensitivity to things moving
in that plane, so you then tend to ignore them (be it a smelly Xmas
tree, or one of us on a bike on the road)?
Having said that I think there are some people who can generally cope
with such things (along with eating / drinking / talking / smoking /
using a mobile / ICE / CB / AR / GPS) but many many more more that
cant.

I used to think so, but there was a discussion on this on t'wireless
recently, and the purpose of them is not to piss off following motorists,
but to warn emergency services in the event of an accident - however for
this they are only supposed to be displayed when there *is* a baby on
board
- several fire & ambulance people said they had wasted an awful lot of
time looking for kids possibly thrown clear in a crash.

Originally, as has been mentioned, to inform the emergency services of
the presence of a junior chav. Whether they would then choose to extract
the spawn manually or send for some special toxic material handling
equipment, I don't know.
That the stickers/labels have been misappropriated by the hard of
thinking to inform all and sundry that they are capable of fucking and
breeding is a misfortune and only leads to information overload,
especially when one claps eyes on the driver and thinks, "Who the fuck
would shag that?"
Please don't do it, unless you really do only use it when the kid is on
board.

Pretty much like you. I read once that they came about because of
_one_ incident in Germany where a baby was thrown from a wrecked car and
not found for some time. Contrary to "modern" usage, they were not to
mean "Drive carefully, I'm a breeder," but "There should be a baby in this
car, if there isn't then look for her."
So:
a) modern law and technology mean that infants should be confined to approved
safery restraints. The chance of an infant then being thrown from a crashed
car are minimal, unless her wardens are incompetent.
b) the presence of such a sticker when there _wasn't_ a baby on board could
waste valuable rescue-workers' time on a wild-goose chase.
They serve no purpose; they may mislead. Case closed.

More seriously, if the child is in a proper child seat, it won't be thrown
into the undergrowth. It will probably be the best-protected occupant of
the vehicle. I'm assuming that French law is similar to UK law as regards
strapping down the tinies. Anyway, if you're too stupid or lazy to
adequately restrain your offspring, then perhaps it's just as well that your
genes are not propagated.

Well, I used to slap my own 'custom' paint jobs on bikes, (though they
had always already ben repainted by a previous owner) and hack baffles
in my yoof, but these days I tend to stick to practical changes. My
Guzzi has uprated headlights, pannier frames, a clock and a formerly
self-retracting side stand that doesn't any more. Small, discreet
changes that sort out minor niggles.
I do tend to replace excessively loud (to my ears) exhausts with stock
items as well. Much as I like to hear singles and vee-twins on loud
pipes, I just don't like announcing my presence and bad behaviour to
all and sundry and there are times and places where a loud exhaust is
really inappropriate.
I suppose that I am stamping my own values on the bike after the
previous owner stamped his, so in a sense, perhaps I do customize.

I always take them to mean "The driver of this car is a stupid twat".
That is sometimes useful to know, so I'm happy for divers to display
them if they wish.

I borrow my housemate's child seat when it's raining and I want to park
close to the doors at Sainsburys.

You are right. And even worse are the "princess on board/little monkey

Very little. It mostly just lies there and squeaks.

The original was a political adaptation of a TV bread advert which
was everywhere at the time. "Dont say brown say Hovis"

But to reply to my own post....
Quite a lot of people round here think its a good idea to gather the
entire family on some 150cc scooter (4 and above) and go where ever.
The record I believe is 9 on a side-car combo on a day when buses were
free.
If you can weld on an extra wheel its all good!

Why bother? Does *anyone* ever get clamped / fined for parking in a

eh? Did you not say "Why?" when she expressed this desire.
Personally, I'd ask her to list the benefits she perceives from such a
thing. That should settle it.
