Saw this sign on September 4th, U.S. labor day, at the local IKEA. I don't remember seeing any such sign in Germany. And here I was thinking Germans are too direct!

My best guess is that you don't see such signs in Germany because people would simply not dare to leave a not-potty-trained kid in somebody else's hand. Imagine the embarrassement and public ridicule of being called upon by loudspeaker to "pick up your kid who just wet its pants."
