i ALWAYS park in parent + child spaces and have no children. the extra room makes sure that nobody bangs their car door into my porsche. i didn't spend £75k on a car to have it damaged by paupers.
if i had my way, children under the age of 16 should be banned from supermarkets or made to go at a specific time of the day (e.g. between 10am and 10.30am) so as not to disturb other customers. |

I think you'll find that all of these spaces are in fact reserved for BMW drivers. Ask any BMW driver. Plonkers. |

Oh my god, what planet are you from? Do you know what its like trying to get a child out of a car especially in a baby seat when there is a small space beside the car to do it in. |

The spaces nearest the door should not be allowed for people with big cars who have more money they should be there for the disabled and those with young children
people with big expensive cars should park as far away from the door as possible to save their car's from getting trashed |

I think your question is a tad ignorant. Parents need more space to get children strapped into their seats, plus it is extremely hard work shopping with children. Oh and by the way, it is the mothers who spend the most money in supermarkets.. not big car owners lol! |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Very funny right?
If not; you need to take a good look at how hard mums work and how hard it is for them to just in and out of the store with one or more children
When my kids got to the age of walking for themselves then; yes I would park further away and leave the 'allocated' spaces for those who needed it.
Until you have kids of your own - try not to criticise what it is like. |

lmao, well obviously to try and prevent kids getting run over, love the no age limit point though, spot on! |

The real problem is that parking spaces in general are simply too small.
Hospitals are a major culprit of this. Patients with mobility problems but not necessarily with blue badges simply are trapped in their cars along with able bodied drivers as the spaces are simply not big enough.
If you have a hatch back and reverse into a space you don't have to drive a 4 x 4 to find you can't open the tailgate enough to get a wheel chair out.
We need a law specifying a minimum size for car park spaces big enough to be usable by all of us.
We should not need to be contortionists to escape our vehicles after parking or have specials bays for mothers/babies or disabled drivers.
Staff parking areas should be segregated and further away rather than closer to the doors used by the public. This will enable those customers who need to park closer to do so. |

My friend has four children under four (ages 4, 3, 3, -twins and 15 months). Since she has only two hands it is VERY dangerous to park a long way away because you can't hold all those hands, and people drive like maniacs in parking lots! It is a safety thing for the children. |

I agree with you though.. my mother wrangled 4 small children at the same time across parking lots and never had the benefit of getting to park up close. Close parking spots should only be for older and handicapped people. Healthy mothers with their healthy children should use their healthy legs and walk the distance.
IMO Pregnant women in their 8-9th month are the exception. If you can't control your child/children or expect them to behave while walking from the parking lot to the store, maybe you shouldn't go shopping with them. |

It's not because they are closer to the door that parents park in them and I think you will find it is the supermarket that locates parent and child spaces not the actual parents!
The main reason these spaces exist is for SAFETY. The extra space allows a pram/trolley to be placed NEXT to the car and not behind it where other cars are driving.
I'm not sure what happens to people in car parks but the driving becomes terrible and I would never leave my baby in the path of oncoming traffic.
Also the extra spcae allows a car door to be opened really wide... something that comes in handy when you are trying to pop the car seat back into the car or strap a wriggly toddler into a boster seat.
Sure I'll go park in a normal space... I hope you don't mind me bashing my door into your car a few times whilst I try to ensure my child is safely and securely strapped in.
Seeing as you have never had to give birth either or seem to have known anyone who has I don't suppose you know anything about SPD, difficult births, the recovery period or just how damn moronic you sound! |

You obviously haven't got kids.
My daughter has 2 yr old twins and can never find a mother and baby spot through selfish people parking in them.
When you have a baby the first thing you do is put the trolley at the side of the car to put the baby straight in before it does a runner,even worse if you have 2 like my daughter with twins,dont forget too that you have to have the door wide open to get a child out of the baby seat in the car.
I was willing to forgive your naivety until I read the last sentence,then decided you were a first class twat. |

you complete pratt!!
i have had so many fallings out with ***** like you in tescos i have lost count!!
im sure if a mother parked next to your car and opened the door to take her baby out and scrathced yours in the process because the normal spaces are too small you would be the first to complain.
tesco and the supermarkets put them near the door, and there are several good reasons for this such as 1) you try carrying an 8 month old baby across a car park when its p*****g it down with rain and see how happy the pair of you are when you get there,
2) it means that toddlers have less far to walk to get a trolley thus reducing the risk of them being run over by the gas guzzlers
3) when you have just given birth, been cut in the process and have had your privates stiched...lets see how far you can walk!!
its more about having the space to be able to safely take your child in and out of the car, i for one wouldnt be bothered if they were the furthest away spaces, at least then parents and their young children will have more chance of using them instead of lazy a***s!
firefox if you read the sign in tescos cap park it clearly states that the spaces are reserved for parents displaying the parent and toddler club sticker, these are given to you when you register with their baby club and are valid until the child is 5, not 45!! the rest usually say parent and toddler or parent and YOUNG child!
jeez im mad now, this is my pet hate and riles me everytime!!BENNY- if you drive a 75k car and are that worried about someone scratching it DONT BUY THE BLOODY CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE OR HAVE YOUR SHOPPING DELIVERED YOU POMPUS ****!!!! |

I have only ever seen "parent and infant" spaces at one doctor's office/hospital. It is the most insane thing I have ever seen. For how many years did Mom's get their kids to doctor's appointments without a special space set up for them close to the door? LAZY. And what maximum age limit would cover "infant"? |

Why are there no Father and baby spaces?
Maybe because men realise that its a dumb idea to take young children to the supermarket? I hate mums who go about with their pushchairs and hoards of screaming children. Have some consideration for the rest of us. It was your decision (hopefully) to have kids, so why do you deserve special treatment? You believe that you're disabled but your not.
Get a nanny and LEAVE THE KIDS AT HOME! |
