Description
This Baby on Board sign comes as a pair: two 15 x 15cm yellow plastic signs, each fitted with two suction cups, for $10.99. Two signs means one car does not have to go without when the grandparents are doing the school run.
Most families end up needing more than one. The sign lives in whichever car has the capsule in it, and then a second car does a daycare pickup and there is nothing on the back window. Buying them singly is how you end up with one sign migrating between vehicles and none of them signed properly. A pair covers both cars, or covers the rear and a side window on one.

Why Parents Choose a Two Pack
-
Two signs, two cars - the second car is covered without buying a whole new sign at full price.
-
Two suction cups each - a single cup lets a sign swing and drop, two hold it square and flat against the glass.
-
High visibility yellow - the standard colour for the message, so a driver behind reads it without having to think about it.
-
15 x 15cm format - large enough to read from a following car, small enough not to block the rear view.
-
Moves between vehicles in seconds - suction cups peel off and re-stick, so a sign can follow the child rather than the car.
Where Should You Put a Baby on Board Sign?
The rear window is the usual position, placed low and to one side so it does not sit in the driver's line of sight through the rear view mirror. Some parents prefer a rear side window instead, which keeps the rear screen completely clear. Whichever you choose, check your mirror after fitting it and move it if it obstructs anything.
Are Baby on Board Signs Legal in Australia?
Baby on Board signs are widely used on Australian roads and are sold openly by major retailers. The relevant rule in every state and territory is about obstruction rather than the sign itself: nothing may obscure the driver's view, so a sign must not be placed where it blocks vision through the windscreen or the rear screen. Fit it low and off centre and check your mirrors. Road rules are set by each state and territory, so consult your own road authority if you want the exact wording.
Do Suction Cup Signs Stay On in Summer Heat?
Suction cups hold best on glass that is clean and dry. In an Australian summer a car interior gets very hot and a cup that was pressed onto a dusty or greasy window will let go. Wipe the glass first, press the cup firmly to push the air out, and re-seat it if it starts to creep. Having a second sign in the pack helps here too.
Who Buys These
New parents fitting out a car before a hospital discharge, grandparents who do regular pickups and want their own car signed, and families with two vehicles who are tired of moving one sign back and forth. They are also a common addition to a baby shower gift, because they are the sort of practical thing nobody thinks to buy until the week the baby arrives.
Pair It With
Car safety for small children rarely stops at the sign. Our Automotive range covers the mirrors, shades and organisers that go in the same car, and Children has the rest of the baby and toddler essentials. If this is going into a gift, the Baby Shower collection is the place to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many signs do I get?
Two, each with its own pair of suction cups already fitted.
How big is each sign?
15 x 15cm, which is readable from a following car without dominating the window.
Are the suction cups replaceable?
The cups are supplied fitted to the signs. They are the standard style and can be re-seated if they loosen.
Will they mark the glass?
Suction cups sit on the surface and do not use adhesive, so they leave nothing behind beyond a ring that wipes off.
Can I use one on a tinted window?
Yes, provided the cup is stuck to the glass itself rather than to a peeling film, and provided it does not obstruct your view.
Is the sign double sided?
The message faces outward. Fit it with the printed side towards the traffic behind you.
Do you ship Australia wide?
Yes, including regional and remote addresses.

Product photography is indicative. Colours may vary slightly between screens and the item in hand, and hand measured dimensions carry a small tolerance. Road rules on window obstruction are set by each Australian state and territory.
