Well done

My 4 year old ds has a blue badge, but I rarely use it, I tend to park in mother and toddler spaces if any are available.
But still useful to have.

Well done - fantastic.

Well done

yay! well done you!

we too just got badge for DS5, and im soooooo pleased - not just for him, but it will probably be literally a life-saver... with 5 children, 3 of which are runners/elopers im so pleased we have one too.

I agree with the dirty looks when all the kids pile out the bus, with the "dont look like they need wheelchairs to me" glances, ah well, walk a mile in a mans shoes as they say.
