Mum shows off son’s first haircut, but it’s his car seat which has got people talking
A MUM took to TikTok to show off her son’s first haircut, but people were more concerned about the child’s car seat.
Anayancy Santillan posted a video on the social media site showing her son asleep in his car seat as they travelled to a hair salon.
In the clip, his black hair was entirely covering his face, as his mum explained: “Okay, I feel so bad – I’m finally going to give in.
“This little boy is a year and two months and I think it’s finally time for his first haircut.
“I didn’t want to do it but he’s going to have to have it… He’s sleeping by the way.”
And while some people commented on the little boy’s long locks, others were more exasperated by his car seat.

“Everyone is worried about the child’s hair but nobody gonna talk about proper car seat safety??” one person wrote.
While another added: “Ok but why is he forward facing and strapped in so loosely.”
“Straps are wayyy too lose, crotch buckle is too low,” a third commented.
And someone else agreed, writing: “Uhm you need to check up on your car seat safety please!”

“Too little to forward face yet, and straps are too loose. Much safer in an accident if he’s rear facing, esp on their neck,” another comment read.
“He NEEDS to be rear facing for HIS safety, not your convenience,” someone else ranted.

“I will ALWAYS be ‘that Karen’ about car seat safety. It’s not a parenting choice!”
In California, where Anayancy lives, the law states that “children under 2 years of age shall ride in a rear-facing car seat unless the child weighs 40 or more pounds OR is 40 or more inches tall.”
