Paris Hilton gets advice again after son's life jacket is on backward in pool days after car seat error

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Paris Hilton recently found herself under scrutiny from concerned parents after sharing a TikTok video of her swimming with her 1-year-old son, Phoenix, as reported by Page Six.

Observant viewers quickly noticed that Phoenix’s puddle jumper, a type of children’s life jacket, was worn incorrectly.

Paris Hilton's son wearing life jacket backward sparks safety concerns

The video, captioned “Adventures with Baby P,” showed Hilton carrying her son while he splashed around a hotel pool wearing a blue floatie incorrectly fitted, covering his back and arms instead of being worn properly.

Several parents and experts commented on the video to point out the mistake and offer advice.

A swimming instructor recommended, “Swimming teacher here, see if you can swap the puddle jumper for a float jacket. Gives him the use of his arms to aid his swim journey.”

One fan commented, “Hey momma just a tip from another puddle jumper mom, I think it’s on backwards. But I love this video, pure joy,” which received over 800 likes while another user wrote, "So fun! Your puddle jumper is on backwards tho! Flip it!"

Another user echoed, “The little life jacket is backwards,” but quickly added a compliment, “but you are an amazing mother!!! Enjoy every moment.”

Another person noted, “He’s floaties are on backwards the clip goes in the back but also happens to lots of new moms.”

She reassured fans in another TikTok video that her son is fine. In the subsequent clip, she and Phoenix enjoyed a day at the beach.

Internet divided over Paris Hilton's car seat controversy

This isn’t the first time Hilton’s parenting practices have raised concerns. Earlier in May, she faced backlash for posting a photo of her children’s car seats installed incorrectly.

Paris Hilton sparked a debate online after sharing a now-deleted TikTok video that raised concerns about the safety of her children's car seats. The footage showed her son Phoenix and daughter London strapped into forward-facing seats, which goes against the standard safety guidelines recommending rear-facing seats for young children. Additionally, viewers noted that Hilton appeared to use both a latch and a belt simultaneously, further raising safety issues.

The incident drew mixed reactions from the public.

Comments like, “Please double-check the car seat manufacturer’s recommendations” and “Rear-facing until 2 years is usually law” were prevalent.

Some fans defended Hilton, suggesting that the children were in a van, which might have different safety protocols. Others empathized with her as a new mother, understanding that mistakes are part of the learning process.

Hilton took the feedback seriously and promptly removed the video from her TikTok feed. She then shared a follow-up video, expressing gratitude for the advice and showing that she had corrected the car seat installation.

In her new video, Hilton wrote, “Thanks for the mom advice, I’m new to this. The #CutesieCrew is now ready for takeoff in the #SlivingMom van.”
