Kourtney Kardashian Barker recently ignited controversy by posting, on social media, pictures from an all-inclusive resort family vacation. One picture featured her 1-year-old baby boy, Rocky Thirteen, on an unprotected dinghy without a life jacket. The post, shared on National Parks’ Instagram account on Friday, raised the alarm for many of the agency’s followers about the safety of young children on watercraft.
In a bid to quell the backlash, Kardashian Barker directly responded to the criticism via her Instagram story. She shared an update featuring a baby life vest with the caption, “Update: bought a life vest that fits!” This swift, decisive move really showed that she was listening to the issues voiced by her constituents.
Kardashian Barker was not done keeping it real with her audiences, as she confessed that she forgot about safety measures. She stated, “Good looking out. Honestly didn’t think about some of the dangers,” highlighting her openness to feedback and willingness to prioritize her child’s safety.
U.S. Coast Guard kids under 13 wear a properly fitted, Coast Guard-approved life jacket. This safety precaution is critically needed as they are often on actively moving vessels. This guideline is a reminder of the need for child safety on watercraft, particularly for very young children such as Rocky Thirteen.
Kardashian Barker’s post has reignited discussions about parental responsibility in relation to children’s safety during recreational activities.

This exciting family life is what tends to grab the attention of the public.
