TO THINK THAT ACTUALLY Parent & Child Parking spaces should be at the back of the supermarlet carpark?

[Tortington]

leaving more spaces for those of us who don't torture our children by taking htem shopping

oooh novel
for the cheap arse planet killing empire enabling chav

at troll-hunting!

Agree - place them further away but with walkways for feral toddlers to be kept in check more easily (like mine).

They are useful though - I wouldn't want to do away with them altogether. But I prefer the Aussie signs which are much more specific - Parents with strollers. Of course, it doesn't say that you need to have a child in the stroller (although the pic makes it kind of obvious) but you'd have to be rather strange to go shopping with an empty stroller (or very absent-minded indeed).

Ooh look! Someone mentioned leaving the baby in the car. We haven't had one of those "I know someone whose baby spontaneously combusted when left in the car for 30 seconds" threads for a while.

@ manly jaw! defined chinness i'd prefer thank you

i AM a non smoker! not wannabe how dare you

:o

In fact, maybe there should be a special car park in every town that has nothing but P&C spaces and is at the furthest possible distance from any desirable service, shop or attraction so no-one wants to park there.

[genius emoticon]

I have left the baby in the car loads of times for about 30 seconds to get/return a trolley or get a ticket- sometimes the P&C spaces, or the space I've parked in are not next to the trolley bay, or the trolley, or the ticket machine. I think that's safer than taking them back and to across the car park.

yy fressh air and excersize must fit in with some govt agenda?>

go one step further and ban all people under the age of 23 from supermarkets all together. the shopping experience would be so much nicer for the rest of us.

or if not yes - put the bloody P&T parking spaces right at the edge where there is room. Why should I have to weave my way through cars, abandoned trollies, prams and squalling brats before i even get through the doors? usually more space at the edges anyway.

'For the cheap arse planet killing empire enabling chav'

I think that's their new marketing slogan.

AYC - exactly

Heh, I was going to post something in response to Kungfu's post but then read back to what she was talking about and it's not so relevant - but what the heck.

Re. leaving DC in the car - apparently tis illegal to do so in NSW, where I am. Was a bit when I found this out. But I'm not sure if leaving them to take the trolley back counts; or leaving them while paying for petrol.

I think this is what's needed for feral toddlers thumbnose

Custy a troll she has been here ages

Although i do agree with you custy

Not illegal here!

[hurries off to lock DS in the car for the rest of the afternoon and find a spa]

headfairy, that is remarkably similar to what I had in mind when I wrote my post!
You must be psychic or summink.

I dont care where they are, I just want to pick up and park a trolley near the car so baby not left unattended.

yy to person who said make all spaces bigger! Than the knob in a people carrier who dinged my car door in currys could open his door as wide as he fucking well likes and I wouldn't have a scratch on my door.

Would be easier if all spaces were just made wider! Otherwise I have no issue with spaces being at the back of the car park.
I often park there anyways as there is less chance of a car parking so close I can't get in!

:o thumbsnose just call me mystic Meg

bigger spaces for all? don't be redonkulous, that would mean one less P& T space

When mine were small I shopped at a Safeways where the P&C spaces were down the side of the shop so no carpark to cross but a slightly further walk to the front doors. It was great as I could always get a space there.

Just said same on another thread- as for 'battling' with babies and toddlers all the way through car park - a joke surely? Put them further away from store and mark them 'extra wide bays' for everyone including the p+c - they may find the stress of walking through a carpark with their offspring not so bad with a bit of practice.
