I now extend this to make sure I dont park next to cars with baby seats or other very obvious signs of children (see child dinging above!)....
Having said that, I've still got one very small ding on my offside rear passenger door  |
Never knew that! although I tend to reverse in as it is easier to park, for me.
When I see a car with a child seat I make sure I am not next to it.
