The \u201cBaby in Car\u201d Sticker<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve always felt a little uneasy about \u201cBaby in Car\u201d stickers. As the driver behind one, I\u2019d find myself wondering, \u201cSo what?\u201d Does it mean, \u201cThere\u2019s a baby on board, so I\u2019ll be driving slowly\u201d? Or perhaps, \u201cThere\u2019s a baby on board, so I may need to stop suddenly\u201d?\u2026<\/p>\n

I could never tell what the sticker was meant to communicate to other drivers. And since one would spoil the Panamera\u2019s design, we were never going to put one on our car. Still, so many cars have them that I decided to look into what the sticker actually means.<\/p>\n

When I searched for the story behind the \u201cBaby in Car\u201d sticker, I came across this account:<\/p>\n

A baby was in a car involved in an accident, but the rescue team didn\u2019t realize it. The baby died, and stickers were created after that to prevent the same thing from happening again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWait\u2014that\u2019s what it means?\u201d The story was heartbreaking\u2014but it turns out it\u2019s probably an urban legend.<\/p>\n

What the Sticker Actually Means<\/h3>\n

The sticker was apparently first sold in September 1984 by the American company Safety First, with the aim of encouraging safer driving. Here\u2019s an excerpt from the Safety First website:<\/p>\n

Safety 1st is an American baby-products company founded in 1984, with bases in Canada and Europe. True to its name, the brand is guided by the principle of \u201calways putting baby\u2019s safety first.\u201d It develops and manufactures a wide range of baby products that have been loved around the world. Safety 1st doesn\u2019t just make products for the convenience of babies and parents; it also considers the everyday environments in which families raise their children. One of its firsts was launching the world\u2019s first \u201cBaby on Board\u201d message sign for cars. As a leader in the baby-products industry, Safety 1st develops advanced child seats and offers a broad range of practical products designed with babies\u2019 safety as its top priority. Its products are now sold and enjoyed in more than 50 countries. Safety 1st is a brand that has always been there to support parents.
\n\uff0a<\/span>Excerpt from the Safety 1st website<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I see. The idea of making \u201calways putting baby\u2019s safety first\u201d the brand\u2019s guiding principle is wonderful. And after reading this, I feel like I finally understand what that sticker is meant to say.<\/p>\n

On the highway, I sometimes see drivers in a hurry tailgating the car ahead. Sure, dawdling in the passing lane isn\u2019t ideal, but driving right up behind someone is dangerous. If the car in front brakes suddenly, there may be no time to react\u2014and the result could be a serious crash.<\/p>\n

There are very few things more important than a life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, cars carrying babies should be driven safely\u2014but so should every car on the road. I hope that seeing a \u201cBaby in Car\u201d (or \u201cBaby on Board\u201d) sticker gives drivers a moment to think, \u201cThat\u2019s right\u2014I need to drive safely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before I focus on enjoying the drive, I want to make safe driving a priority every day.<\/p>\n
