This was a perfect diaper bag because it was neutral colored and worked for either a boy or girl. I knew her husband would be just as involved with the baby and didn't want something that was feminine or frilly. When my niece was pregnant I gave her a Precious Cargo diaper bag. She tells anyone she meets with the same sign on their vehicle about her story. She has since removed the sign from her car. She was gone just a few seconds, but that was long enough for her baby to be kidnapped. My neighbor had buckled her baby into her carseat and went back in the house to grab her purse. The woman who took the baby later confessed to having taken several babies, and she told police that she looked for signs like these when searching for babies to take. My neighbor’s baby was kidnapped from a car with a “precious cargo” sticker on the back windshield. He wears it when we go shopping, and people always giggle. People might be fooled until they see his beard and mustache. What makes it even funnier is that the shirt clings to his belly, so it really does look like he’s pregnant. So, his brother bought him a t-shirt that says “Precious Cargo” on the front. He has a protruding gut that makes him resemble a pregnant woman. They don’t get their feelings hurt very easily, so my brother-in-law knew that the birthday gift he had gotten for my husband would do no harm. My husband and his family tease each other mercilessly. Other vessels are very careful when approaching this ship, because they can see the “Precious Cargo Daycare” logo painted on both sides. The ship has very secure guard rails that make it impossible for a kid to slip off the deck. The daycare is for children five and under. It goes out on the water, and kids can see dolphins jumping and seagulls diving. The daycare stays in the bay, so I don’t have to worry about giant waves knocking the ship over during a storm. It’s a great idea, because it keeps the kids entertained. I live near the ocean, and while I’m at work, my daughter stays on a ship called Precious Cargo Daycare.
Precious cargo transportation drivers#
We hope that the bus drivers will always remember that they have precious cargo, so they will take care on the road. I think we kind of use our show of appreciation, like the article talked about how people use the sign "baby on board" and hope that people are more careful driving around them. I work at a special needs school, so when they are dropped off each morning by the school bus, our school staff always tries to thank each bus driving for taking care of our precious cargo that was on their bus. Those who love animals will pull over and let this van pass them. The words “precious cargo” are surrounded by paintings of sweet little puppies and kittens. It also goes out to help owners who are too disabled or weak to pick up their heavy animals and bring them in to the clinic. The van usually goes out and gets animals that have been hit by cars and refuse to let their owners pick them up and carry them, since injured animals can be aggressive. The name of the clinic is painted on its side, along with the words “precious cargo.” It also helps if you can write the phrase in the language of the country you're in.Ī local veterinary clinic has a van designated as an animal ambulance. I have seen too many boxes just tossed around at post offices to not want to emphasize safe handling of my goods. Most countries allow you to mark your packages as fragile, but I also like to write precious cargo on the box just as a reminder. While I hate to part with it, it just isn't realistic to carry the art I buy with me from country to country. I am always shipping things home when I travel abroad and occasionally I will splurge and buy an irreplaceable piece of art. Whenever I think of precious cargo I really take it in the literal sense. It seems like with anything, companies have taken a good idea and gone overboard with it. Sometimes, it just doesn't really make sense. I see clothing and toys with precious cargo on them all the time. One of the things I have noticed though is that it seems that more and more companies are adopting the precious cargo phrase into their marketing. I really thought that was a cute pitch because it shows that the company really knows how most parents feel about their children. When I was shopping for my kids' strollers I actually decided to choose the ones that stated, "for precious cargo only".
