Parent and child parking rules explained as drivers could be hit with £70 charge

The rules on parent and child car parking spaces can be puzzling and could even spark car park rows.

The spots are clearly marked and are wider than typical spaces to allow those with more children to have more access to get them safely in and out of the vehicle - as well as easy transport of bulky items like prams and carriers.

But for those without little ones, it can be tempting to take advantage of the spaces that are located in prime areas close to entrances. While those who do so are breaking the rules, there is a question as to whether parking in these spaces without children is illegal.
