How many kids died in cars, before the airbags put the kids in the back seat, in Beef up car seat that the kids are so quiet in?
These "forgotten baby" incidents are an unintended consequence (seen with all gub-ment meddling) of mandatory air bags and back seat, rear-facing child seats. Anyone who can't see the relationship has a strudel in his noodle.
Add to the mix today's iconnected robots, and you have a recipe for disaster.
There would be so many signs that could be used for the feeble minded. I would never be unloading the car and leaving the baby while I went into the house with "stuff". I would always take the baby in and get the baby comfortable and then unload the car especially in the heat.
Maybe if those going on a shopping trip let the baby hold the TV remote, they would realize the baby, or at least the remote, was missing. They could also leave a sign on the refrigerator or on the computer screen. They could make the slightest effort and would save the life of their baby.

I completely agree.
However, the net is lives saved in favor of the meddling.
You guys do realize the point of those stickers is to let emergency responders know there is a baby in the vehicle right? There are different precautions to take with infants and responders must act fast...Use your goddamn brain and do some research before you open your gaping cavern of stupidity that is your mouth......jesus christ....
That may or may not have been the original purpose, but clearly nowadays people use the stickers to tell other drivers to refrain from driving aggressively. Don't believe me? Go ask around. . . . . l. ron hubbard . . .

That was exactly the original purpose; to encourage people to drive more safely. I remember when they first came out. Obviously it didn't work.
Regarding the comment made by another poster about first responders, these stickers are tiny and they can be placed anywhere on a vehicle. I can't imagine a rescuer walking around a large SUV involved in an accident looking for one to see if there is a "baby on board."
I think it would be a lot quicker just to look in the window to see if there is an actual car seat with an actual baby in it to rescue. That's what they do.
Same way pilots landed with out the gear down (at least in the days before fancy alarms sounded if the plane appeared to be landing, but the gear was not down)?
Then factor in all the accidental weapons discharges ("forgot I re-loaded it, and then forgot never to do "X" with either a loaded or unloaded weapon" type events) involving experienced and normally responsible gun owners
And the same way perfectly normal people will clear a snow blower chute with their hand while it is running or kick under a lawn mower to move something while IT is running, there are times that you are running on autopilot. And sometimes bad things happen because of it.
Shall I post that link again whenever these things happen?
A friend always tells me......"the more kids people have, the less intelligent they are".......In this case he's correct.
