So what your saying is, i should park in a normal space with a baby who cant even crawl yet, undo her from the car seat through a partly opened door because of restricted space and then drag her by one hand through the gap of the door and the car body, and no i am not being stupid, when parked in normal spaces gaps can quite literally be this tight. Also you say you have two girls aged 5 and 7, thats fine. What about the people with 3, 4 or more children, dont you think a young mother posssibly on her own with baby in hand, and trying to also control 2, 3 toddlers should have to walk further than nessasary, maybe have to cross a couple of roads in strong winds, rain, ice, etc. I would agree that maybe they should be called parents and baby spaces and i do appreciate the concern that we all have for the possible damage to our cars, but the bottom line is these bays are there for a reason.
