Ice-T, wife Coco Austin dragged for still pushing 6yo daughter in a pram

Ice-T’s wife Coco Austin is being mummy-shamed for still pushing her six-year-old daughter in a pram, with fans pleading for her to “let her grow up”.

Coco Austin is being mummy-shamed for pushing her 6-year-old daughter, Chanel, around in a pram.

The blonde bombshell has been facing backlash ever since she shared a family photo of an annoyed-looking Chanel – whom she shares with husband Ice-T – slouched in a baby stroller.

“A stroll through the @atlantisbahamas shops …” Austin, 43, captioned the pic, which was shared via Instagram on Sunday.

“Chanel is so over it unless there’s something cool to see,” she continued, acknowledging her daughter’s pouty expression. “Her face transitions instantly.”

Critics couldn’t help themselves from commenting on the post, writing things like, “She looks like she’s over being in a baby stroller,” and “Isn’t she like 6 yrs old! Should she be out of a stroller by now?!”

“I know she may be your last baby but you have to let her grow up. If anything a wagon is more her age!” a third suggested.

“I have a 6 year old smaller than her and she hasn’t been in a stroller in years. I would hate for your sweet baby to get bullied or something.”

While Austin and Ice-T, 64, seemingly prefer to have their “baby” not use her feet, they sure don’t mind making sure her manicure is on point.

Back when Chanel was 5, her parents let her get French-tipped acrylic nails ahead of picture day at school. Naturally, the opinions rolled in instantly.

“Too young for nails!!!!!” one person commented, receiving nearly 1000 “likes.”

“Tips for a 5 year old, but you still breastfeed her, come on …….just ridiculous,” another user argued.

Despite the continued backlash, Austin revealed just a few months prior that she was still breastfeeding her “boob freak” daughter.

Austin and Ice-T – who have always defended their controversial parenting choices – first spoke about their daughter’s eating habits back in 2019, at which time they also disclosed that they believe in co-sleeping with Chanel.
