Background
Parent & Baby bays are essential for safe parking and unloading children. Misuse by those without children creates hazards, stress, and can prevent parents shopping safely. A verified badge and legal protection will ensure the bays are used correctly, keeping parents, heavily pregnant women, and elderly safe and able to shop with dignity.
