    I think the Parents With Prams should be labelled the same way as on trains: Reserved for people with special needs.... and have a sign with a pregnant woman, a wheelchair, a pram and a person on crutches. If a heavily pregnant women has her toddler with her and decides she can't manage taking a pram AND pushing a trolley at the same time then she should be able to use that Parenting spot regardless of whether she uses a pram. I think the terms should be broadened because a person on crutches probably should have precedence over a person with, say, a fit and healthy 4yo who can walk but is popped in a pram.

    People seem to lack compassion and common sense these days It would be good if those "guilt trippers" made vocal sarcastic comments at the local selfish individual who just parks there because he's lazy...but to direct that comment at somebody with a baby who can't walk who has a mum with a healing c/s scar is rough. *thumbs down*
