Parent and Child Parking Bay Markings
Get in touchA child parking bay sign can be an important way to mark child parking spaces.
Whether they are private car parks or extra space for parking with children, a parent and child bay can be invaluable for a pregnant woman, small children, blue-badge holders, and families that need extra room.
Parent and child space markings are designated parking spots in parking lots that are specifically reserved for parents with young children.
Parent and child bays are usually wider than regular parking spaces and are located closer to the entrance of a building, making it easier for parents with young children to get in and out of a supermarket car park or anywhere.

Benefits of Parent and Child Parking Bays
There are several benefits of having parent and child parking bay markings:
Accessibility: Parent and child parking bays are typically located near the entrance of the building. This makes it easier for parents with young children to access the building, especially when carrying strollers or other bulky items.
Safety: A parent and child parking space is typically wider than regular parking spaces. This provides parents with more space to manoeuvre their vehicles and unload their children safely, reducing the risk of accidents in the parking lot.
Convenience: A parent and child parking space is usually located close to the entrance of the building. This makes it more convenient for parents with young children to get in and out of the building quickly, especially if they need to make a quick trip or are in a rush.
Comfort: A parent and child parking space provide parents with more space to get their children in and out of the car. This makes it more comfortable for parents and children, especially if they are carrying heavy bags or other items.
Inclusivity: Parent and child parking bays are designed to be accessible to parents with young children, including those with disabilities. This promotes inclusivity and ensures that all parents have equal access to parking spaces that are designed to meet their needs.
What are Parent and Child Parking Bays?
Parent and child symbol parking bays are spaces that exist to work alongside parent and child parking rules.
These mean that certain spaces in a car park will be parent and child spaces, providing dedicated spaces for parking that are often safer and easier to reach - as well as extra room to reach a booster seat or take out a pram, etc.
Parents strongly rely on parent and child parking bays. If somebody is parked incorrectly (stopping on parent and child parking bays when they are not a parent and child pair), they can be politely asked to move or hit with a parking charge notice as per parking regulations.
These allow parent and child parking more effectively, not to mention pregnant women parking up in places they find safe and easy to access.
This kind of child space is important for parents who want a dedicated space they can park with their children, especially in a busy parking bay where parking space may be otherwise limited.

Multiple Colours: We can provide a wide range of parent and child parking bay colours, whether that is for extra visibility to let drivers park correctly (and to colour-code them and prevent wrongly-parked drivers) or just part of a business' aesthetic choice.
