Are parking spaces for 'mums with prams' legally enforceable?

I'm pretty sure they are for parents, not just Mums. But neither I suppose. Just a convenience offered by malls. You'd be kind of a dick to take them if you didn't have a pram though.
But what if you did have a pram and were not a parent?

Then you're weird I guess.
Out of interest, what would be your side of the argument?
Haha, eloquent and fair

Mum hauled me half a km to the shops back in the day and I turned out alright
I guess I have to take your word for it
Similar to the mums in prams signage, i know some people that take advantage of the disabled parking area "illegally" parking there. But i also know a few that while they do have a legal right to use it (having the disabled sticker for the car etc)... their "disability" doesn't impact their ability to function as a normal person.
I think we have become lazy over time, i walked to primary school (10 minutes or so taking traffic light crossings into consideration) and walked to the shops (maybe 30 minutes or so). I lived even closer to the high school i went to (literally a 2 minute drive.... 7 minute walk), yet i was driven and picked up 99% of the time.
In my adult years i am not that lazy, i live in a cross section of multiple shopping centers or small shopping strips, each 5-15 minutes away from me. However i will walk to them as opposed to driving or catching public transport... i enjoy the exercise.

Well you guys are lucky you never came across me when my boy was still in a pram...
Normally you find the pram spots in incredibly busy car parks with little space for pedestrians to walk around so you can imagine what it would feel like to navigate a pram whilst big arse 4WDs and P plater dicks speed up and down. Nothing to do with being lazy

Good points, the design of some modern car parks are decidedly poor and quite unsafe for pedestrians to be frank.Well you guys are lucky you never came across me when my boy was still in a pram...

No but everything to do with expecting entitlements because you complain about how tough it is having to be responsible for your offspring.

Haha, like it's some huge entitlement. They're not taking away your right to vote. Again, we're in a society people. A little consideration won't hurt you. It's simply something to make it safer for kids. Arguing against it is a little ridiculous.
Lollypop people piss me off too. Lets get rid of them. Kids can cross the road themselves.

You're avatar seems apt.
Primary school I lived about 15km away, high school was about 42km away until my parents decided to move so it then became 21km. I always took the bus, primary school and half of high school I was 1st on and last off.

You say entitlements, I say safety. It's probably best that we leave it at that.
For safety sake it's probably better to park waaaaaay at the end of the car park with plenty of spaces vacant surrounding you and minimal hazards/other vehicles.
Also means you will be first out (like Clark Griswald in national lampoons vacation!)
