Paris Hilton Addresses Backwards Life Jacket Concerns for Son Phoenix with a Playful 'Oops!'

Paris Hilton didn't worry much when a fan noticed that her toddler's life jacket was on backwards in a recent video. On Sunday, May 26, the 43-year-old shared a TikTok video of herself in a pool with her 16-month-old son, Phoenix. She captioned the clip, "Adventures with Baby P," as she spends time with her children Phoenix and 6-month-old daughter London, whom she shares with husband Carter Reum.

The twosome looked happy, but a fan noticed that Phoenix was wearing his life jacket incorrectly.

A user commented, "Hey momma just a tip from another puddle jumper mom, I think it’s on backwards. But I love this video, pure joy."

The next day, Hilton replied to the fan and expressed her appreciation for the correction.

"Oops! Thank you!" she wrote on Monday, May 27. "I never let him out of my arms. Thought it was backwards too, I said that to the person who I bought it from & they said it was on right. But thank you so much for letting me know."

Adventures with Baby P

Paris Hilton has once again received parenting advice on social media. Just recently, she faced criticism for a TikTok video showing her strapping Phoenix and London into their car seats. Fans noticed that the babies were facing forward in seats meant for rearward-facing only, and also pointed out that she should not use a latch and belt at the same time.

One fan expressed concern over the safety of the car seats installation in a deleted video, urging Hilton to hire a professional for the job.

Taking the advice of others, Hilton shared a new video on May 14, showing the car seats now facing the rear.

"Thanks for the mom advice, I’m new to this," she captioned the clip. "The #CutesieCrew is now ready for takeoff in the #SlivingMom van."

Nearly two years after tying the knot, Hilton and Reum, 43, secretly welcomed Phoenix in January 2023 followed by daughter London in November 2023. Since welcoming her two kids, Hilton has gushed about her journey into motherhood.

Being a mom is like being a superhero! It's tough, but also incredibly fulfilling," Hilton shared with We magazine in August 2023.

Even though she enjoys being a mom, Hilton admitted that juggling work and parenting can be a lot to handle.

"I love my work, but my baby comes first," she told Us. "My priorities have changed. I'm turning down many things to be with my son as much as I can. He's my little angel."

Editor's P/S:

The internet's constant scrutiny of celebrities' parenting choices has once again been highlighted by Paris Hilton's recent experience. While well-intentioned, the unsolicited advice she received on social media regarding her toddler's life jacket and car seat installation can be overwhelming and undermine her confidence as a new mother. It's crucial to remember that parenting is a complex journey and that every family's needs are unique.

Hilton's willingness to listen to feedback and adjust her parenting approach demonstrates her commitment to providing the best possible care for her children. However, it's equally important for the public to respect the privacy and autonomy of parents and refrain from excessive or judgmental commentary. By fostering a supportive environment where parents can learn and grow without fear of criticism, we can create a more positive and inclusive society for all families.
