Little People’s Zach and Tori Roloff slammed for ‘dangerous’ parenting move during car ride with son Jackson, 5
ZACH and Tori Roloff have faced backlash over what fans called a dangerous parenting move while on a car ride with their five-year-old son Jackson.
The Little People Big World stars have been at the center of controversy regarding many of their choices as young parents.
Now Zach, 32, and Tori, 31, have been scolded for improperly buckling their son Jackson, five, into his car seat.
In a scene from Tuesday's episode, the reality star took his kids to grab some food from Sonic.
But eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot that his oldest child wasn't correctly strapped into his booster chair.
While one strap was looped poorly across the top of the seat and underneath his arms, the other was nowhere to be seen.

FAN BACKLASH
LPBW followers raced to Reddit to complain about the mishap, slamming the couple for their negligence.
"Yesterday’s episode showed Jackson in a high back booster wearing his seatbelt improperly. Shouldn’t he still be in a 5 point harness? All I kept thinking about was how fast he would fly out in an accident," one wrote, opening up the conversation.
"They let the kids bounce around untethered in that Mule on the farm," a second reminded.
A third remarked: "Blows my mind when people just do not care about their kids safety. It only takes one, not ever major, wreck to seriously hurt a kid in the wrong seat."

"They're lazy and reckless. I hate when people don't take car seat safety seriously," a fourth scathed.
"Yes and Lilah should still be rear-facing," a fifth claimed, noting Zach's two-year-old daughter's position as well.
"Idiots shouldn't have children," a final scathed.
DANGEROUS RIDE
This wasn't the first time Zach and Tori raised controversy over their children's car safety.
Just last week, the young mom shared a snapshot of her two-year-old girl in an Instagram Story.
Even though Lilah was strapped to her car seat, the toddler managed to wiggle around.
Tori's daughter had glasses on her face and wore an adorable floral outfit.
She was eating chips while bending her leg back.
The LPBW star noted: "That foot!"
Tori described the infant as the "ultimate road tripper bean!"
FAN COMMENTARY
But fans argued in anthat Lilah could "fall off" her seat because her buckle "was loose" and she should be rear-facing.
One critic said: "I felt like jumping into the screen just in case she fell. Scary stuff!
"I'm not exactly one who believes we should wrap our kids in bubble wrap and force them to wear helmets 24/7 just to keep them safe... but that was beyond reckless."
Another commenter wrote: "The torsos of people with achondroplasia are (on average) the same size/length as average height people. So Lilah still could have sized out the harness or the shell of rear-facing seats."
A third said: "Lilah should have better secured Lilah to her seat. It’s not that hard Tori."

A fourth person added: "My son will be rear-facing until he is the absolute maximum weight. I know he'd much prefer to face forward but, kid, you have seventeen more pounds to go for that. Rear-facing is SO much safer."
Another chimed in: "Car's get dirty too. Cleanliness isn't exact Zach and Tori's forte."
