Well?

I mean, ok, you might need a tiny bit more space getting small child into car seat etc.

But I think the main factor here is laziness.

pointy dog, surely you are joking?! Maybe not... You should see me trying to lug great big 8 month old baby out of car, and keeping under 3 year old under control in the car park. And that's before there's any shopping. Thank god for child and parent spaces.

What is really lazy is the people who park in them who don't have a child at all... . I think there was a thread about this not long ago, don't want to open up that can of worms again.... Ha ha.

convenience i would have thought is a better term.

Oh definetly lazy that and trying to stop DS swinging the door open on to other peoples cars and also to get both the girls in. I am not bothered if there isnt a P+T space but do prefer it as tends to be a trolley around aswell then!

I love in Germany whre P&T spaces are a rarity, and I really miss them - esp with 3 kamikaze children under 4 years old. Once, when I was hugely pg with dd3, a german slammed my open car door into my back as I was strugglnig to get ds2 into his seat and had encroached onto her space.

The ones with a child who is in high school - yes - lazy feckers.

I only had kids so I could park near the shops. And had a doble bonus when she was born disabled and get to use disabled bays now as well, oh ad I get a free car and loads of other touches!

at my local tesco the p&t spaces are not closest to the shop, the disabled ones are the closest. which is the way it should be, i may have kids but we can all walk.

Actually in our morrisons car park they are not only by the door but also all the way up the other side of the car park, i don't mind parking far away but i do like the space to open the door to get kids in & out of car seats, sometimes you get an idiot who thinks it is fone to park that close to your car you could not swing a cat
