I have always wondered how women get their hands on a stroller parking permit or what I like to call “VIB-Very Important Baby” permit. As a mom I feel so vulnerable when I’m out and about with my little one and parking near a store entrance makes me feel safer. It is also much more convenient for rainy days, large cargo, or cranky babies. I thought you had to have special momma privileges or fill out a complicated application to receive a stroller parking permit but NOT AT ALL! Any parent with a baby can get one!
All you need is:
Photo ID
Baby’s Birth Certificate
$35 Dollars
Or $15 Dollar Replacement Fee
I recently went with my best friend, who also has a baby, on a mommy stroll to our local justice center and we both got our “VIB” parking pass in about 15 minutes tops for the both of us. I was surprised at how quick we got them.
Here's how:
Search online for the closest location near you. Usually sold at your local justice center or certain hospital gift shops. No appointment needed.
Parent or legal guardian must be present with photo ID, baby’s birth certificate and cash, check or money order. (Justice center only accept check or money order )
The permit expires a month before the child’s third birthday. Thirty-five dollars for “VIB” parking for three years?! I’ll take it! It is so simple and so worth it. I absolutely recommend it to every parent.
* Keep in mind this is for Miami-Dade County. Other counties or states have different rules and regulations.
This is awesome! I wish we had this in california. We have expectant mom parking but a permit is not required and a lot of the time I see non preggos parking there.
Wow! I didn’t know that something like this even existed! I am going to guess that we do not have this in Indiana, but I do agree that this should be something that we have everywhere!
It is in Miami Dade county, Florida but not all counties in Florida have it. I don’t think they do either but this should be a thing everywhere! It’s so awesome!
