Kourtney Kardashian faced social media backlash after posting a photo of her 21-month-old son, Rocky, on a boat without a life jacket during a family trip in Idaho, where laws require children under 14 to wear life vests while boating. The image sparked swift criticism emphasizing water safety, prompting many followers to express concern about the potential dangers and legality of the situation.

In response, Kardashian acknowledged the oversight and thanked fans for their vigilance. She shared an update on Instagram Stories stating, “Honestly didn’t think about some of the dangers,” and revealed that she had purchased a properly fitting life vest for Rocky. Kardashian also expressed hope that her experience could raise awareness among other parents about boating safety for young children.

Despite the controversy, Kardashian’s message was met with support from many who praised her for taking the feedback seriously and using the moment to highlight safety. Alongside addressing the life vest issue, she also tied her posts to World Breastfeeding Week, celebrating her extended breastfeeding journey with Rocky.
