Whenever I see a "warning: baby inside" car sign...

I always think there must be a baby werewolf or baby chupacabra inside.  It is such odd phrasing for a "baby on board" type of sign.

I don't understand the point of those signs. Do they really think I can/will opt to slam my car into a different vehicle because I see that sign? Particularly since the occupants of that car are obviously type a such that I an bet that the kiddo in THAT car is safely harnessed?

I was always told they were for paramedics. That way in case of an accident they knew to look for a child in the car or the surrounding scene, so that in worst case scenario baby wasn't left alone on the side of the road to die.

This.

I never thought about the accident angle, but I've heard people say they have them so maybe they won't get tailgated, etc. I doubt that would work, but it's a slightly more plausible reason.

I always sort of wanted to get one for the homage to the Simpsons. "Baby on board, something, something, Burt Ward. This thing writes itself!"
