1. Nope. Not my style, personally. They're a bit too cutesy, and
yet they also play the Fear Card in a way I don't buy into.

2. Nah, I always figured the huge freakin' carseat was clue enough

As I understand it, they're not for avoiding wrecks but to let rescuers know after an accident that there's a child in the car. I don't really see how that'd be missed in these days since kid carseats are pretty big.

3. What if I had one, but had no baby? Just like to keep 'em guessing.

5. I had the same thought as LeftyMom. My backseat is a row of three
carseats. I'm pretty sure people know I have a baby on board. If they can't see them, they can usually hear them!

In NY they gave out the WHALE (We Have A Little Emergency) stickers to put on your car window so that emergency responders knew there were children in your vehicle. I kept them on the car when we moved to Maine and I have all of the kid's info on the bottom of their carseats and also in the glove box.

6. I did for one day
We put one on our windshield when we pulled in the grandparents' drive. It was our way of announcing the impending arrival of their grandchild.
