  • Baby On Board: Remarks Before The Society For Corporate Governance National Conference, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, San Diego, California, June 28, 2019

    Date 28/06/2019

    A few months ago there was an article in the Washington Post about the baby on board signs that seem to be on so many cars. The article’s timing was perfect because I had just seen one of those signs and remember wondering why they seemed to be making a come-back. At one point, those signs were everywhere, on almost every car. Then they seemed to disappear for a while, but now they are back. The article gave the history of the signs, which first hit rear windows in 1986, assessed the psychology behind their popularity, and reported on people’s reaction to them. The article speculates that for parents driving their infants around on dangerous roadways, these signs serve as “protective talismans.” Less superstitious parents might also use the signs to signal emergency responders in case of an accident that there is a baby in the car. Other drivers see the signs as a way of announcing to the world that you are a parent or as pleas for others to drive carefully. At bottom, the article suggests, the signs seem to reflect a jumble of parental emotions—anxiety, pride, love, and deep respect for the preciousness of life. Also reflecting a jumble of emotions, is the recent “Lady on Board” trend. Before I turn to this topic, I better give my disclaimer. The views that I represent are my own and not necessarily those of the Securities and Exchange Commission or my fellow Commissioners.
