Not really, but dying in a car crash sounds like an awful way to go.

The baby on board stickers are too alert first responders that if they find the vehicle after an accident or some other emergency that they need to look for a tiny human as well as children/adults it's not too pressure drivers to get them to not drive crazy, there's really nothing for that. Just hang out by a school zone cross walk during release you'll find out just how good people are at deciding to drive safe for children and the law.

I don't think a permanent mark is a good idea for a warning. Emergency responders aren't stupid. Unless you're in a car with illegally tinted windows all the way around, they'll easily be able to visually clear most any wreckage a baby is going to survive.

I know this is a meme and it's meant to be silly, but there is a general misunderstanding of what the "baby on board" sign means.

It's not "don't hit my car with your car because there's a baby" because you shouldn't intentionally hit anyone's car with your car...

It's a warning to others that you may be distracted by a baby and do stupid shit, so maybe give some extra space and try to be understanding.
