I sometimes see these spots that are for expecting women or parents of infants. We have used the spots before, both when my wife was pregnant and also for the first few months after they were born. It was very convenient when the kids were small. (we have 5 kids now, btw) Trying to get the small kids into the store while carrying the infant carrier, etc is hard enough--having the closer spots comes in handy. It sucks when some a$$hat parks in them, though. I saw that the other day and it really ticked me off. The lady that parked in the spot was not visibly pregnant, not was her passenger, but they pulled in front of me causing me to brake just so they could get it. I did not plan on parking there, anyway, but when I saw who got out, I almost made a comment to them....
