I had one of those generic bright yellow 'Baby on Board' signs when Eve was first born. I found that it made little or no difference to the closeness people drove to my bumper. I also wondered about the colour. Sure, it's the colour of a danger sign and therefore attracts attention but does anyone else find it aggressive? I'm probably just over-sensitive but I do think that colour affects how I think somtimes. I recently read about a famous interior designer who designed his range of products for a department store using turquoise and orange - colours he chose to have an anti-depressent effect. Many fast food chains use yellow and red interiors so you eat fast and don't linger. There's obviously some research there, I just don't know a thing about it.
I digress. I took the yellow sign down in the end but since I traded my beloved Fiat 500 in for a VW Passat I have noticed that people drive much closer to me than before. I hate that. I started ebaying...
Custom made Baby on Board signs. There are thousands of designs on ebay and hundreds of sellers to choose from. I didn't like the idea of putting Eve's name on it, I'm not sure why. I thought it fitting to choose the word 'babies' since I will have two sprogs in four months time (holy moly, still scares me when I think it).
I bought it from this ebay seller - Link but as I said there are so many sellers and designs out there.
I popped it in my back window a week ago and I have noticed that I haven't had one car drive too close. Of course this could be coincidence. Then again in Dublin, aggressive tailgater's are part of everyday life.
It's soft and pink and pretty and probably completely unnecessary. Do you use one of these? Any other ' I couldn't resist' moments?
