I have to admit i ALWAYS use these spots if i have the 2 kids. DS is very hard to controll and doesnt matter how many times we have chatted about cars and dangers he still forgets and tries to run off into the shops. I park close so its not too far for us to walk safely. I have seem people without kids park there and i have said something but wouldnt begrusge a "parent with child" a space if he/she didnt have a pram or trolley.

I know there are "parent with prams" and parent parking at our local shops. The one for prams are bigger but like mentioned i think its worse when your kids arent restrained in the pram. Personally i think all parking spaces could be a tad bigger.

If you have a bubs in arms the person should have minded there own business... it wasnt like you were alone... and its not like you were in a disabled (that erks me) you were a parent and going to use a trolley so why not...
