A parking conundrum

Okay wise vipers where do I park in these circumstances:

Dd3 is about to finish a 2 week stay in hospital (crossing every bloody finger and touching lots of wood (ohh err))

At present she can not walk far ( had ataxia) and her motor skills are fucked - we have loaned a wheelchair

She will (see crossing every thing above) recover in time so not a permanent disability

She is 9

So do we go

A parent and child and risk the wrath of the 'It's for babies' brigade
B disabled space with no blue badge ( I really don't think I could)
C park over 2 spaces?

We have been confined for 2 weeks to one room and she is desperate to get out and about for short trips

Personally I think A and fuck it but am I right?

If you end up having to do C then speak to the security for wherever you're going and let them know why, then you shouldn't get a ticket as they can let the parking company know not to ticket you.

A. It’s not just for babies, it’s for parents who NEED that extra space. You must definitely need the space and I doubt anyone will say a word to a parent in your circumstances.

Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for your little ones full and swift recovery.

A or c.

I did A when DS was in a wheelchair following a bad leg break.

A deffo...

As a BB holder, I would have absolutely no issue with you using a BB space without a badge, when it's obvious that your daughter is so frail... Although legally you would NOT be entitled - specifically on public roads...

Hope you daughter recovers swiftly!

A-if anyone says anything just do your best impression of a Mrs krabappel impression and ‘Ha!’ in their face

Can you ask your mum how she went about this? The rules are very clear that you can’t apply for a temporary badge, it even uses broken leg as an example of why you can’t get a badge. If your mum has managed to have this rule overturned then she should have gone public with this information. It would be invaluable to thousands.
