This week, a little stir was made when hip-hop legend and actor Ice-T and his wife, Coco, were seen pushing their six-year-old daughter, Chanel, in a stroller.
A Twitter photo shows Ice-T and Coco posing for a photo as Chanel, seemingly bored and tired, sits in her stroller.
A stroll through the @atlantisbahamas shops…
Chanel is so over it unless there’s something cool to see.. Her face transitions instantly pic.twitter.com/yE7Prp4jmN

After posting the photo, social media started going in because Chanel is six years old and should have outgrown the stroller. But she definitely had her defenders.
Insider spoke to a board-certified pediatrician, Gina Posner, who stated that it’s quite alright to push a 6-year-old in a stroller, and it can also benefit the parents.
“Sanity-wise for parents, kids can get cranky after a long day at an amusement park or somewhere else, so sometimes it is nice to have them in a stroller, so they do not get cranky or complain about walking so much,” she said.
Many Twitter users agreed with Posner!
Ummm why does anyone care if the baby is in a stroller? Small kids get tired! Stroller, wagon whatever kids need rides when they are young.

It’s better than carrying a tired six year old around the mall. Great job for thinking in advance and bringing a stroller to avoid back pain after a long day.

I push my 6 year old in a jogger all the time! Let the kid rest, and parents enjoy something they wouldn’t be able to forcing a tired kid to walk all over. ??

No one says anything when people put dogs in a stroller! Let her be!

I be darned if I’m walking my granddaughter around on foot through a mall for hours at a time. And if she was much older and needed to be carted around in a stroller, so what! I believe you’re a great mom.

I always brought a stroller for my older kids at Bush Gardens…
