Even if there's a space close up I'll go find a further away one because there's usually less people parked there. I'm not a great parker, plus I like to have plenty of room to get LO in and out of the car.
-
I swear my DH will find the furthest spot from the door possible and if there's a free spot where there is only parking on one side he will take that.
-
I'm not a great parker so I'd rather walk a little from a spot with more space.
-
Usually somewhere in the middle. Parking up close makes me nervous because there are usually cars on either side of the space and I get freaked out that i'll hit their cars or take too long and embarrass myself lol!
-
I like finding the closest free spot available.
-
I don't drive a lot, but pre-pregnancy I liked to park as far away as possible but now that I'm pregnant I tend to try and park closer.
-
I park way the hell bc I need room to get LO and stroller, etc and I also have a fear of someone zipping into a space next to me and not seeing me or God forbid the stroller.
-
I park far-ish so I can have more room to get in and out.
-
@regberadaisy: my DH is the same and so his FIL. It's pretty funny.. they both always park SO FAR away!
I park close-ish but usually like to have a few empty spots around me, so not right in the first row usually.
-
Far. I have a new car and I don't want door dings. Plus it's a two door with wide doors so I need room to get LO out.
-
I look for the closest parking spot available.
-
I park far away usually because I like being able to zip in and out of spots without negotiating tight spaces, and I like to have room to get LO in and out without superhuman feats of gymnastics.
I also like that little bit extra on the physical activity front...but I'm also the type to take stairs vs lifts etc.
-
If I can I park in the shade, even if it's at the back of the parking lot. The AC in our car isn't very awesome, so if I can keep it even a little bit cooler in the car when we get in I will.
If there's no shade I'm still more likely to park closer to the back. I don't mind the walk.
And a pull-through spot if I can find one.
-
I usually park in the middle or far away. I don't mind walking, but I don't know if that will change now that I'm pregnant or not. KY summers are brutal.
-
i tend to go where there aren't as many cars...but i do like to be closer when i'm preggers...i hate walking lol
-
When I drive our traverse, I like to park farther away so it's easier to park and I don't worry about hitting anyone b/c I suck at parking. When I drive the yaris, i just find a close space since the car is so small and easy to park.
-
I usually park across from a cart collector so taht way I can easily take it back with LO. And I try to have a free spot next to the door of her carseat so I have room to get her in and out.
-
I'm an awful parker. I park far away unless there is a good spot up close!
-
Ha, my first thought was parking at home. Living in Philly forever changed my view of how important a driveway is to sanity and personal well-being. Hunting for a parking spot within a mile of our townhouse was always the worst part of my day!
DH always parks the absolute furthest he can possibly get away. I generally park on the far end, but not to the ends of the earth like DH! I never hunt for a closer spot than what I can readily see.
-
@PrincessBaby: I have the same fear. I am so paranoid someone isn't going to see my stroller I don't snap the carseat into the stroller unless I've shut all the car doors and I'm 100% ready to go.
I park where there's big spots. I usually park a little further away since I need space to get the carseat in and out of the car.
-
I park on the outer parking lot rows close to the store. There seems to be less cars.
-
So to be honest, the only place I ever go now is the grocery store (online shopping otherwise!!!), so when I go there, my main goal is to park right beside the cart corral so that nobody can park on the one side of me. It's the side with my younger kid (1 year old) who I need a bit more room to maneuver around.
-
I always park at the back of the lot. I don't like dealing with waiting for all the cars to back out, people walking in the middle of the parking aisles, blah blah blah. Plus, I figure I could use a few extra steps
Oh, and I am a really bad parker!!
-
I prefer to park closer if I can find a spot. If I'm in a mall parking lot, I tend to be pickier and won't settle for a far spot.
