What do you think?
Is such a thing even possible?

Wider bays so people can open doors wide to get babies out of seats?
No issues here.
Intelligence and education are three sides of the same coin.
Would you park in one?

No, only Honda riders think of their bikes as 'my baby'

It's better to be thought stupid than open your mouth and remove all doubt
Pure speed in sixth gear on a 5,000 foot straightaway is one thing, but pure speed in third gear on a gravel-strewn, downhill, ess turn is quite another.

Who would want to park next to a soccer mum's 4WD, her kids are going to just open their doo rs on your car, best to give them their own parking spots.
Not really, the spots are for parents with prams, so usually pretty small kids. (at least the ones I've seen).
Also, the process of getting them seems to be a bit of a scam. You have to apply for a 'permit' at the shopping centre, and then you can only use it at the same branded centre. Seems like a scam to get people to only go to a similar shopping centre.
If cleanliness is next to godliness, why was jesus a dirty sandal-wearing beardo?
If it's not Acrod I'll park in it, loading, 5min, parent parking doesn't matter I'll park in it.
No problems with parental "Prams" only parking, but I'm baised on this one.
Also I will never bag or complain about parents and babies ever again. Everything is a thought out mission when you have them, and nothing will annoy you more than poor parking and those that give you buggar all room to open your doors when you need to get a wriggly 15kg worm in/out of a car.
It would shit me to tears however if you had to apply for a permit - as I don't see any value would it have.
Its all good.
i would park in the Motorcycle bays...it is perth street bikes not perth street cars.

It's a marketing gimmick, nothing more. It's well proven that parents spend more money on groceries, clothing and other shopping centre related products than single people or the childless, so the shopping centres are catering to where the money is for them.
So i treat them accordingly, as a cheap way of making their prime target audience feel special, not to be taken seriously. I park there whenever it's convenient to me.
(Seniors bays I leave alone, at least surviving long enough to get old shows some form of dedication)
In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

Well I am all for parking in ACROD and parents With PRAMS if this suits You.
Nothing like A LIL HELP when requiredand when Shit goes bad we all need them (fucking motorbikes) = crutches
As for bike bays where R they (there is a few)
But Where is the parking with a frigging trailer parking for all the TRADIES at the shopping centre with utes/cars and trailers never seen a parking bay for car and trailer other than Bunnings and a boat ramp. Not good Tradies need to shop too![]()
I would always park as far as possible from the enterances of shopping centers as there is always plenty of parking spaces and when my young feller would play up we would just turn around and head back home with him fumming as he could see the shopping center and wouldn't get to go in. besides I always needed the exersize anyway.
Holy sh*t this thread WASN'T started by Gippo!!
Like any red blooded male I hate shopping and avoid it as much as possible. When I do go, I park where I can. If you're getting upset about parents with prams parking closer, you need to find a girl, lose your virginity (which, if you're whinging like a little b*tch you probably still have) and have a kid of your own.
