Coco and Ice-T's parenting decisions are theirs to make, but that is not stopping netizens from weighing in on their controversial methods. Coco Austin recently shared some pictures of her family's vacation on her verified social media accounts, according to Page Six.
Her 6-year-old daughter, Chanel, can be seen in one of the photos sitting in a stroller, looking a little bored. She was then seen smiling in the next picture, showing the young girl posing with her celebrity mother in front of what appears to be a sculpture that resembles ice shards.
People immediately pounced on Coco's post, jumping into the comments section to express their feelings about Chanel sitting in a black pram and looking exhausted.
Coco blasted for having six-year-old kid in a stroller
One person told Coco that she might be her last baby, but she must let her grow up. The netizen wrote that she has a six-year-old smaller than Coco's and hasn't been in a stroller in years. Another person asked Coco, "Isn't she like 6 yrs old?" The netizen argued that she should be out of a stroller by now.
Coco posted other photos from their tour of the hotel, and the stroller is nowhere to be seen. Dr. Jay Lovenheim, a pediatrician in West Orange, New Jersey, just laughed when asked by TODAY Parents for his take on the stroller controversy.
Lovenheim voiced his support for Coco in the controversy, saying that this should be a non-issue. Lovenheim noted that he has been to Disney World several times with his kids, and they always put them in a stroller, even their older child, who could barely fit in the seat.
Coco is no stranger to controversy about her parenting methods
Lovenheim said that kids get tired at theme parks and big resorts because it is a lot of walking and it is hot. Lovenheim added that pushing them in a stroller keeps the kids fresh, and they can always use it when they need breaks. He said that it is better for everyone involved.
There is a good chance that Coco won't respond to her critics. The 43-year-old model, who has been married to the "Law & Order: SVU" actor since 2005, does not appear to care what people think about her parenting choices.
Coco grabbed the headlines last year when she revealed that she was still breastfeeding Chanel. She made the revelation in an interview with Us Weekly, saying that then five-year-old daughter Chanel still likes her boob. Coco justified her decision, saying that her daughter wants a little snack every now and then and that it is more of a bonding between the mother.
