I dont have an issue with people using the pram parks when they have a small child in the car. It is also fine for people with disabled permits to use them when there are no disabled parks available.

What really gets me is when a motorcycle parks there, or a 2 door 2 seater car!! and all the pram parks near us are narrow too which defeats the purpose of having them.

If I cant find a wide pram park I will either park miles away or try for an end park and go right as close to the island as possible so that I can open both rear doors fully easily.

I do think that shopping centres should put a trolley bay right near the pram parks and they should all be as wide as a disabled park.

If you cant find a pram park or a park that allows you to open the door fully, try placing a terry flt nappy between your car door and the car along side. prevents scratches and dents I hate seeing paint parks from other people's cars on my car.

I think it would be excellent to get an official permit system set up for pram parks, and make them as a legal requirement like disabled parks. Our children cannot walk / cannot be trusted to walk and if they were say 15 and couldnt walk tey would be given a disabled permit. A child that is not old enough to walk has an age related disability in that they cant walk, so they should be entitled to some sort of system. It would be lovely to be issued with a 2.5 year permit in hospital and be able to use it everywhere.
