Handicapped plate

Does anyone know if you qualify for a handicapped/disabled plate or placard if you have a very young disabled infant? I've tried googling and haven't come up with anything.

Well, considering you would be carrying this infant somehow like any other parent, I'm inclined to say no lol

You're a legal guardian so you could apply for one. However, I don't think they'd do it until he child was old enough to walk on their own or they're in a wheelchair.

See common sense would say that they wouldn't give you one because you have to carry a baby no matter what. But my neighbors have one for their child with Cat's Cry.

Well then there's your answer. If they have one for their child of the same age, then I don't see why you wouldn't get one. But don't be surprised if for some reason it doesn't go through & you don't qualify.

what is that?...


and, yes, i'd assume that yo could get one once the kid is of walking age. but idk how it all works.

Based on what I'm reading, it pretty much affects every part of the body (physical, emotional, and developmental) so I can see why.

Oh no, I don't have a disabled child. But the neighbors have one for their child, supposedly, and can't prove their it's their placard.

I'm not doubting that they would need it for an older child. But their child is under a year and I was always under the impression that a child needed to be old enough to walk. They've been parking in handicapped spaces without the child in the car and can't prove it's their placard, so I was interested to see if you even qualify for a plate with a child that young.

Thanks everyone.

Ohh I see. Yeah who knows. I don't know anybody that is handicapped or has a handicapped child.. But some people just park in the handicapped space even when they shouldn't. Which is so wrong IMO.

I live in an apartment building where there are only enough spaces for each apartment to have one car. They had a handicapped space put in when they moved in, which is no big deal if it's actually their placard. But now not only can they not prove it's theirs, but they park in that spot when they don't have the disabled baby with them. So when my wheelchair bound 83-year-old great grandma was visiting, we had to park in a different lot because they were parked in the handicapped spot WITHOUT the child, and her husband swooped in and took the last spot in our lot with their other car.

Yeah, I would assume they'd have to be old enough to walk or be in a special wheelchair, but it is what it is.
