Paris Hilton recently shared her journey of learning about motherhood as she navigates the challenges that come with it. The 43-year-old celebrity faced criticism for a video she posted on TikTok showing her children, 16-month-old Phoenix and 6-month-old London, improperly secured in their car seats. Fans pointed out that the seats were facing forward, contrary to safety guidelines that recommend rear-facing positioning for children under 2 years old.
California law mandates that children under 2 years old should be rear-facing until they reach 40 pounds or 40 inches tall. Following the backlash, Hilton posted a new video with the car seats facing the correct direction, acknowledging the feedback she received and expressing gratitude for the advice.
Safe in the Seat, an organization focused on child safety in car seats, emphasizes the importance of rear-facing positioning for young children. This orientation provides crucial support for the head, neck, and spine, protecting their delicate bodies in the event of a crash.
With her children now properly secured, Hilton received support from fans on TikTok, acknowledging that no one is perfect and expressing love and understanding towards her learning process as a new mom.
Hilton and her husband Carter Reum, who married in 2021, welcomed their son Phoenix via surrogate and daughter London 10 months later, also through surrogacy. Hilton expressed her joy and gratitude for her children, highlighting the deep love she feels for them as a mother.
