Exactly! morally I will be unable to park in them.

There is no height restriction is there?   

Even if they did the fatty car park, it would be just as ludicrous and just as unenforceable as the parents one. So no need to complain to the shopping center, just ignore them...

your loss is my gain.

I pretty much think of it as akin to parking in disabled spots when you're not entitled... sure, you can do it, but it just isn't cricket.

So you are equating having children to being disabled!? Rubbish, and I am pretty sure the disabled people didn’t choose to be that way...

+1 to that and could not agree more.. to you lads that are parents, harden the fact up! It's YOUR choice to have kids, next you will be all wanting to be picked up in a mini bus, just like the disabled folk.

Get real guys, seriously i can not believe you are all crying about it. Park the darn car, as close as possible, pull the pram out, put said child/children in a pram, or if NOT disabled they can walk just like you.

Oh carps, I would rather be a tad tubby, than a little bitch crying cause a fat prick like me with no pram took your precious cars with prams car park ROFL

I have 3 kids and i certainly managed before the cars with prams suddenly appeared   Vicki and I have worked full time raising our 3. Imagine a 4, 5 and 6 year old at the shops.. just like you ladies I dealt with it with out the fancy car park. Oh and millions more before you guys have done it too  

Virgil, sorry to rain on your parade, your not disabled buddy. to even consider putting them in the same basket as a disabled park is silly. I have NEVEr parked in one of those and most certainly never will!

Sammy I resemble that remark and already have the mini van (but I drive it) has sliding doors so normal parks are not an issue. But really moving walkways from the parents spots would be nice don't you think.
Child seats can be a difficult super safety cocoon,  not like the ones you probably used
 
I feel sorry for people jamming kids into regular cars with swing doors

What really gets me is big truck drivers expecting to use 2 lanes to turn left just cause they have a crap turning circle, I mean really why not just do 3 right hand turns around the block and not inconvenience the rest of us

LOL Carples,

Yes indeed we had horse and cart, you caught me. As for the trucks, no choice in taking to lanes, the laws of turning a 19 metre vehicle is what it is..you just have to get your head around that one mate.

As for the mini van, i thought that meant you dun get any sex anymore

[Alucard]

wow this thread has really changed direction since i last looked...

as for the car park thing, i can see both sides of the coin. parent parking can be both a curse and a blessing. i can see the need in the more congested areas of the city and popular shopping centres. i can see them reducing the risk factor for families and parking but it makes parking for people like me a nightmare.

i would say one of the bigger reasons they are there is for potential legal reasons, shopping centres getting sued or something for the parking space was not big enough or some crap like that.

now it is the really tiny cars that park all the way in so you cannot see them in the car park are the ones that really annoy me.

Yeah, when I said "akin" to parking in a disabled carpark, I wasn't equating it to being on par with being disabled... but thanks for the sensationalism cowcar... what I meant was, it's a carpark designated with a certain set of criteria... perhaps a better analogy would have been "I equate parking in the parents with prams carparks with parking in the reserved carparks at come centres, like the ones that say 'Reserved for Doctor XXX-XXX" or something... techncially you CAN do it, unless you're a terrible driver you should be able to manouver your vehicle into one of these parks... they aren't protected by invisible forcefields or whatever... but to do it would be rude, and, well, just not cricket "

I love how everyone is getting up on their high horse about it... there's a reason that the carparks are there, if they weren't considered a necessary convienience, the shopping centres wouldn't have them... if you don't have kids in prams, don't park there... if you're not disabled, don't park in the disabled parks, if you're not Doctor Do-Little, don't park in his car space... it's just common courtesy.

[jazzycat]

Why would you want to park there anyway.... Highest point of traffic, pedestrians and trolleys going past.... dents, marks, fingerprints, ppl leaning on your vehicle, etc.

I prefer mid-way distance or where there aren't any other idiots nearby. And yet there's ALWAYS someone parked next to you when you come back.

[bageled]

I'm with you Jazzy, I hate looking for a park, so I always park towards the back. I figure it takes you longer to look for a close park than the time you save walking back to it. I don't mind walking an extra 50 metres.

Similar here, but I try to look for car parks near the trolley bays. I am too fucking lazy to get the pram out the back and my boys now big enough to go grab a trolley for his baby brother. Plus chucking them both in it is easier than erecting a pram and screwing around with it.

Plus side is reversing the scene, watching the little guy try to put the trolley back into the bay. Some days he gets it between the rails - Score / Goal / Cheer, other days he gets it between the rail and some other obj'car'ect. Oh well, I praise him for effort, cause now days you cant give a child any negative feedback, it damages them and the political correct know whats best.

Now I am off as I have to get rid of all my red pens as they may be offensive and keep cotton wool proofing my home.

[bageled]

Just to clarify, you load two kids into a shopping trolley?
I like the way you think

[DonutKing]

lol at all of you who don't just get your manservant to deal with such menial tasks as 'shopping' and 'raising children'
