What's wrong with having a 'baby in car' sign? if i had a baby in my car, i would definitely drive a bit slower and with less unnecessary lane changes. Not putting a sign up to order my tailgaters to be more careful, but just warning them that they might need to have more patience with me.

"Slow" does not equal to "bad." I think it's totally reasonable for parents to drive slower with kids in the car. If I see a such sign on a car, I think it's telling me, "There's an infant on board. Please be careful and I will do the same."

Notice how most child on board signs are triangular/diamond shaped and in bright yellow color? They are meant to be visible to other drivers. They are eyecatchy for tailgaters and other drivers, especially in the rain. Everyone has a natural instinct to keep children safe. It's more of a self-check/reminder for the driver with the baby him/herself as well as the cars around them to watch their speed and driving style.

And with a convertible, you do want your neighbour drivers to know that there's a baby in car. A 10-second, elongated honk from an angry neighbour driver = EXTRA loud for a convertible driver/passengers (imagine the baby's reaction to the noise). And if the car beside you turned on its windsheid wipers to clean its dirty windows... then the baby in the convertible will probably get splashed.
