Ice T & Coco Face Backlash For Pushing 6-Year-Old Daughter In Stroller – Pics

Ice T And Coco Under Fire for Having Their 6-Year-Old In A Stroller

Ice T and Coco are known for their unorthodox ways – and that comes to parenting techniques too.

Yesterday Ice and his wife showed off a picture of the couple on a family vacation in the Bahamas, and fans reacted. The two were seen pushing their adorable 6 year old girl in a stroller – provided by the hotel.

“A stroll through the @atlantisbahamas shops. Chanel is so over it unless theres something cool to see.. Her face transitions instantly,” Coco wrote in the caption.

The image caused a firestorm on Twitter. Fans began debating what the appropriate age is for a child to be in a stroller. And the debate got pretty heated.

“In general, strollers shouldn’t be necessary past the age of 3,” says Dr. Brandon Smith, general academic pediatrics fellow in the Department of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.

“By that point, children should be walking and running without issue and don’t need a stroller to get around. Also, we want to promote their independence and proper motor development, and we can’t do that if they’re sitting every time they go outside.”
