Baby On Board Decals

New parents, grandparents and caregivers order baby on board decals to give other drivers a friendly heads-up that a little one is riding along. They also make a thoughtful baby shower gift and a small way to mark a growing family car. Every decal in this collection is custom printed to order in the USA and ships free.

What's in the Baby On Board Decals Collection

This collection covers the classic warning sign plus family car window decals in a range of stocked materials. The Baby On Board Decal for Car Window, Gloss Vinyl is the bright, shiny take on the traditional yellow sign, with a finish that catches the light on glass. If you prefer a softer look, the Baby On Board Sticker - Matte Vinyl Window Decal, 4-18 in tones down the shine so the design reads cleanly without glare.

Prefer something you can reposition or take off whenever you like? The Baby On Board Sign Static Cling Decal Set of 2 uses no adhesive at all, so it clings to smooth glass and peels away without residue. The Baby On Board Window Sign Decal Set of 3 - Removable gives you spares for a second vehicle or replacements. For SUV owners who want the message to blend into the glass, the Baby On Board Decal - Clear Vinyl Window Sticker for SUVs prints the design on a transparent background. And if you drive something bigger, the Baby On Board Decal for Car & Truck, 4-18 Inch is sized to work on pickup back windows as well as car glass.

All four stocked materials are represented here: gloss vinyl, matte vinyl, static cling and clear vinyl. That means you can match the finish to your vehicle and your taste, from a bold glossy sign to a subtle clear print. If you are decorating more than the back window, our Kids And Cute Stickers collection has playful designs that pair nicely with a baby on board sign.

How to Pick the Right Size for the Surface

Sizes in this collection run from 4 to 18 inches, and choosing well depends on where the decal will live. Measure the flat, clear area of glass first, not the whole window, and leave at least an inch of margin on every side so the decal does not cross seals, trim or defroster lines. A 4 to 6 inch decal suits a small side window or the corner of a sedan's rear glass. An 8 to 12 inch decal is the sweet spot for most back windows, big enough to read from a following car without blocking your view. The 14 to 18 inch sizes are made for SUV liftgates, minivan rear glass and truck back windows, where a larger surface lets the design breathe.

Think about viewing distance too. A decal that mainly serves as a courtesy notice to the car behind you can be smaller, while one you want readable from farther back should sit in the 12 inch and up range. If you are applying several family car window decals at once, such as a set of figures plus a baby on board sign, lay them out on a table first and plan the spacing before committing to the glass.

How to Fit a Large Decal

A big decal goes on best with a little preparation. Start by washing the window with mild soap and water, then drying it completely with a lint-free towel. Any dust, wax or road film left on the glass will weaken the bond and leave bumps under the print. Work in a shaded spot or a garage if you can, since cool glass is easier to work with than hot glass.

Position the decal without removing the full backing at first. Hold it up with small pieces of tape along the top edge to create a hinge, step back, and check that it is level and centered. Once you are happy, peel the backing away gradually while smoothing the decal down with a squeegee or a plastic card wrapped in a soft cloth. Work from the center outward in overlapping strokes so the material follows the glass instead of stretching.

Air bubbles are the most common hiccup with larger decals. If a bubble appears, push it gently toward the nearest edge with the squeegee rather than pressing it down. For a stubborn small bubble, a fine pinprick lets the air escape, and you can smooth the spot flat afterward. Take your time with the 14 to 18 inch sizes, since a slow, steady application looks far better than a rushed one.

Care and Removal

Once applied, keep the decal looking its best with gentle care. Wash around it with a soft cloth and mild soap, and avoid scraping it with ice scrapers or brushes, especially in cold months. On static cling decals, a quick peel, rinse and reapply refreshes the grip if it ever loosens. Avoid parking the vehicle with the decal pressed against car wash brushes, as aggressive brushing can lift edges.

When it is time for a change, removal is straightforward. Warm the decal slightly with a hair dryer on a low setting to soften the vinyl, then peel it back slowly at a shallow angle rather than pulling straight out. If residue remains, a little soapy water and a plastic scraper will lift it without scratching the glass. Static cling versions simply peel off with no residue at all, which makes them a good pick for leased vehicles or borrowed cars.

Are these decals easy to remove later?

Yes. Static cling decals peel off cleanly with no adhesive, and vinyl decals come away with gentle heat from a hair dryer and slow peeling. Any leftover residue wipes off with soapy water.

Which material should I choose for a leased car?

Static cling is the safest choice for a lease or a borrowed vehicle, since it holds to smooth glass without adhesive and removes instantly. The removable set of 3 is another good option if you want spares.

Will a large decal block my view?

Not if you size and place it thoughtfully. Measure the clear glass area, keep the decal within it, and avoid crossing defroster lines and seals. Most drivers place it in a lower corner of the rear window.
