stolen from 12-24 months...(stroller sign)

Just saw this on 12-24 months, although it may be more useful for this board. Not sure how I feel about it...It would be nice to not have to repeat myself every 30 seconds to remind everyone to wash their hands...

Thoughts?

    I've seen those before and I cannot say I am against them...

    It's a little much. With that said, I am not appalled by it.

    I'm such a germophobe it is going to be tempting to buy one of these. Not so much for family (they all know I am a hand sanitizer Nazi) but for the people in public that reach in the carrier and try to touch the baby! It's a passive aggressive way of saying "Don't touch my baby unless your hands are clean", which most people's aren't.

    Over the top.  I would never put something like that on my stroller or car seat.  Talk about over bearing.

    Completely appropriate IMO. I have problems speaking up to strangers sometimes and I would be the "overbearing" parent to buy this tag. I do not want strangers filthy hands all over my child. To me its the same as the maternity shirts that say "hands off" or "do not touch". Though I know some will disagree.

    I wouldn't put it on the stroller. It doesn't bother me, but my issue is more about people I don't know touching the baby. (more social than germ related) I never touch babies, but I see people grabbing at them all the time. I find it offensive.  I would rather a sign that says "If my mom doesn't know you, keep your hands off."

    I think they are stupid.  Then again, I'm already a "bad mom" for so many different reasons... :eyeroll: 

    My 100% honest opinion: If you feel strongly about it, tell them.  If you are too pansy to tell them, passive aggressive signs are just going to make me roll my eyes at you and hope someone comes over and touches your kid just to piss you off.

    He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be.  He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.

    Meh, over the top. And maybe I'm the odd one out here or maybe it's where I live but I've never had a problem with strangers touching dd when she was a baby. Or now even, when she's in her stroller.

    Me either!  I've also never had anyone invade my space for a belly rub.  

    When DD was an infant we had her in her infant carrier in her travel system most of the time when we went out.  It's kind of hard to see or reach into it most of the time, so I felt like she was protected.

    This. Definitely NMS and I'd also think the parents are a wee bit overbearing. JMO.

    Definitely not necessary. The only people who have attempted to touch DS when he was a baby were other kids! And they aren't going to read a sign anyway.

    THIS!  When parents bring new babies into my class (3 and 4 year olds) I have to practically duct tape the kids into chairs to keep them from covering the babies in germy fingers.  We talk about germs and how little babies don't need big kid germs, but children love babies and they won't read a sign.
