Kourtney Kardashian faced a wave of criticism after sharing a photo of her 21-month-old son, Rocky Thirteen, enjoying a boat ride without a life vest. The image, posted online last Friday, showed Kourtney seated beside her toddler, prompting immediate concern from followers who noticed the absence of safety gear.
Comments flooded in, questioning the decision. One user asked, “Why wouldn’t you have a life jacket on the baby and yourself? Boats capsize all the time.” Another added, “What no life vests? Isn’t that against the law?” The reaction underscored the importance of water safety, especially when young children are involved.
Kourtney responded directly and constructively. She posted an update on her Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of a child-sized life vest with the caption, “Update: bought a life vest that fits.” She acknowledged the oversight, writing, “Good looking out. Honestly didn’t think about some of the dangers. Thank you for making me aware and hopefully this helps make other mommies aware of the dangers of certain types of boating without a life vest.”
Her response was praised for its honesty and quick action. As a mother of four, Kourtney balances a busy family life with public scrutiny. She welcomed Rocky in November 2023 with her husband, musician Travis Barker. Her three older children Mason, Penelope, and Reign are from her previous relationship with Scott Disick.
The incident served as a reminder of how quickly public figures can influence awareness, and how thoughtful engagement can turn criticism into a teachable moment.
