'Irresponsible parenting': Kourtney Kardashian slammed for driving in 'unsafe' manner with her children
Kourtney Kardashian has come under fire for placing her children in an "unsafe" automobile while traveling by road. The 43-year-old reality star captured her son Reign, 7, and daughter Penelope, 9, riding in the backseat of her husband Travis Barker's vintage Chevrolet convertible. On Monday, July 4, the family went to the beach together after Travis was discharged from the hospital after a potentially fatal case of pancreatitis.
Kourtney took a video of herself driving before turning the camera to Penelope and Reign in the rear. They were buckled into horizontal seat belts without a cross-strap, yet it was difficult for them to focus on the road ahead as the wind blasted their faces.

Many social media users condemned Kourtney for allowing the children to ride in the "unsafe" automobile and said the children's seatbelts were hazardous. One individual wrote, "Those seatbelts were scientifically proven to be unsafe but okayđ I guess the vibes matter more than anythingđ."
Another user found the entire video disturbing. "How irresponsible pouting on camera for likes whilst your children are in the car. Give your head a wobble!" while one individual wrote that she was careless, "It's idiot it's driving around with her kids driving worrying about taking a picture of herself.. careless."
One fan who thought the Kardashian content was uninteresting wrote, "It's so boring now, accountant I mean not your page. There's not the excitement that there was once with the Kardashians. The legendary are in the past. The magic is gone."
The three children Kourtney has with her ex-husband Scott Disick are Mason, 12, Penelope, and Reign, and she has consistently stated that her children are her top priority. In April 2012, while Penelope was still a baby, Kardashian spoke to Parents magazine about her passion for parenthood. "It's definitely my favorite role in life. It has changed me and made me realize there is nothing else I would rather do with my time. Being a mom is what life is about," she asserted. Kardashian claimed that she never demanded perfection of herself and that she wanted other mothers to understand that "not everything has to be perfect." She revealed that she, however, make an effort to be "present" with them.
After her lavish wedding in Portofino, Italy, the Hulu actress adopted Travis' teenage children as her own. The blink-182 drummer, 46, and his ex-girlfriend Shanna Moakler have two children - Landon, 18, and Alabama, 16.
