🚗🍼 **Parent and Child Parking Debate: When’s the Cut-Off?** 🍼🚗
Hey parents, let’s dive into a hot topic that’s sparking a big debate online – the use of parent and child parking bays! We’ve all seen them at the supermarket, but who exactly should be using these spots? 🤔
A frustrated mum kicked off a discussion on social media just before the summer holidays. Her message was clear: “Parents with older kids, give those bays a miss! Your teenager doesn’t need the space like my baby does.”
It’s not illegal to park there with older kids or even without any, but you might be slapped with a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) depending on the supermarket’s rules. The RAC notes these bays are generally for those with kids under 12.
The post drew in plenty of comments, with parents sharing their own stories. One mum described a showdown at Sainsbury’s when she pointed out someone using the bays without a visible child. Another explained the juggling act of loading a four-year-old and a baby into the car, saying regular spots just don’t cut it!
Some are suggesting a new approach – placing the bays further from the entrance to deter those who don’t really need them. 🛍️
So, where do you stand on this? Share your thoughts in the comments! 💬
