When it comes to posting pictures of children in car seats on social media, parents can almost always expect a flurry of unsolicited advice and critiques. This is especially true for celebrities like Kim Kardashian, who has a vast audience eager to comment on her parenting choices. Recently, Kim shared a sweet photo of her daughter, North, enjoying a ride in her car seat, which inevitably drew the attention of concern trolls voicing their opinions on car seat safety measures.
The photo featured North and a friend looking cute and carefree, but not everyone was pleased. According to the comments, if you fail to see the potential issues in this innocent snapshot, you might not be fit for parenthood. Here’s a taste of the “helpful” feedback that flooded in:
- “It would be great if kids were strapped in properly…”
- “The NHTSA has guidelines. You should really look it up.”
- “I hope they weren’t driving with those straps like that.”
- “It’s concerning that people don’t recognize what’s wrong with that car seat.”
- “Those straps are way too loose, Kim. This is about your child’s safety!”
- “Has no one taught you car seat safety?”
- “I’m not a parent, but I believe the seats should face the other way.”
This is just a small selection from the thousands of well-meaning comments directed at her. While some of these commenters genuinely seem concerned, it raises the question: do they truly believe Kim and her partner, Kanye West, are reading Instagram comments for parenting advice? Moreover, is the photo really that problematic? Sure, the chest clip may have slipped down a bit, but let’s be honest—kids are notorious for adjusting their straps when they find them uncomfortable, as I experienced with my own children.
While we should absolutely prioritize car seat safety, the phenomenon of concern trolling among parents has reached new heights. With social media platforms allowing parents to share glimpses of their lives that were once kept private, everyone feels entitled to voice their opinions, often unsolicited. A comment here and there might actually be helpful, but more often than not, it risks damaging relationships. If the child isn’t hanging out of the car seat, maybe it’s best to hold back on pointing out that the chest clip is just slightly misaligned.
We all face enough judgment in our daily lives; can we afford to ease up a little, especially when it comes to parenting? This applies to Kim Kardashian too.
