I'm sure that, like all 4x4 drivers, you think so. But, in fact, if you look closely you will realise that you have parked right over the line and are taking up two spaces!!!

Very good entertainment watching the 4x4 drivers trying to squeeze into a supermarket parking spot.
I'm with you Dodger they should have their own XXXL spots on the fringes of the car park.
This will also be suitable for all customers who wear hats when driving.

Of course, you could always avoid all the fuss and just get Waitrose* to deliver your Fois Gras* and Sancerre* like I do....

Couldn't give a stuff how far the parent child spaces are from the door, but the wider space is a huge help when getting a baby seat in and out, and a pathway that doesn't involve marching small children through the car park is pretty important.
Parents with empty child seats using them are the worst. Knobs.
Totally makes sense for them to be used as supplementary disabled bays if they are all full. That is a phenomenon I'm yet to witness though.

Special spaces near the supermarket entrance for the over 70's I say

My mum has a disabled badge, sometimes when I take her to the Supermarket all the disabled spots are full, and in that case I will park in a mum and toddler spot.
The main problem is people on their own who use them.

I will deliberately park my expensive 4x4 over 2 spaces to give me room to get in and out without bashing doors with the 'P' reg Mondeo rust bucket beside me. I didnt 5 mths ago and the repair bill for them bashing my door was £2800 and a new door from Germany....along with weeks of hassle.I'm sure that, like all 4x4 drivers, you think so. But, in fact, if you look closely you will realise that you have parked right over the line and are taking up two spaces!!!
However, I will not take 2 spaces if the car park is full or very busy, I'm not ignorant!
Disabled spaces- no issue with only disabled using them.
Parent child- no issues either, kids throw open doors and cannot be seen easily in tight spaces while some old biddy reverses out

Can't see an issue with parent and child spaces. What's the problem with making things a little more convenient for them?
Some places have them near the doors, some don't. Mostly disabled bays are nearer and I've yet to see disabled bays at the back of the car park as one poster stated.
It's just people moaning about others getting something they aren't.
"Waaaaaaaaaaah, why are they nearer the door than me!"
Big babies!

All supermarkets could do a Costco and provide oversize spaces for all... Majority of folk still manage to make a right Horlicks of parking between the lines even then though 
...
...Hmm, theirs a picture of an adult and small child holding hands though, did he still live at home
I think these wider/longer bays should be mixed for both disabled and parent with child, then they can be shared as a disabled person also requires a little more room to get out of vehicles. You wouldn't see as many individual parent/disabled empty spaces then whilst driving around the car park looking for a space as those bays would have a multiple use.

Why are blue badge holders allowed to park on double yellow lines? I always thought that the yellow lines were there because it was hazardous to park in that area.
Maybe if I read the highway code I would find out

The last thing I want to do is typecast some blue badge holders but some just have no thought or common sense and abuse the fact they are allowed to park almost anywhere other than red lines, bus stops etc. There's one near me that parks right on a bad blind bend with yellow lines as its dangerous and he parks their so he walk the dog in the park nearby!
