I concur with Jess. I look pretty young and innocent, and as such, I've never seen anybody give me a sketchy look. The first thing I usually do when I see a little kid or baby is make a funny face, which makes them laugh and tends to disarm the parents, although I've never done it with any intention other than the former.
Unfortunately, I think it really has a lot to do with outwardly, superficial, physical appearance. If a parent can construe your "look" as "sketchy," then they're going to be more hesitant. It's a tough situation. Parents are extremely protective.
