KOURTNEY Kardashian has been slammed for putting her kids in an "unsafe" situation during a car ride.

The reality star, 43, filmed her daughter Penelope, nine, and son Reign, seven, sitting in the backseat of her husband Travis Barker's vintage Chevrolet convertible.

The family took a trip to the beach together on Monday after Travis was released from hospital following a life-threatening battle with pancreatitis.

Kourtney filmed herself sitting in the passenger seat, before panning the camera to Penelope and Reign in the back.

They struggled to stare ahead as the wind whipped their faces and were strapped into horizontal seat belts that didn't have a cross-strap.

Critics claimed the kids' seatbelts were dangerous and slammed Kourtney for letting them ride in the "unsafe" car.

One wrote on Instagram: "Those seatbelts were scientifically proven to be unsafe but okay. I guess the vibes matter more than anything."

Another added in a Reddit thread: "Poor kids. Not safe at all, I wouldn’t let my kids in those seatbelts in an old convertible like that."

A third commented: "Reign is seven he should still be in a booster seat."

Yet another pointed out: "The kids look miserable haha."

This isn't the first time Kourtney has been called out for her parenting skills.

Last month, fans became "concerned" for Penelope's safety after she was playing with a 'dangerous' hunting tool.

Kourtney had shared a batch of photos from her and Penelope's visit to "Camp North" on Instagram for North's ninth birthday party.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum shared a short video of Penelope as she ziplined across the forest and through the trees. 

In the next photo, a tactical survival bow was placed on the ground and on top of a log.

DANGEROUS TRIP

In another shot, the preteen stood next to the target stand, a range that had the bullseye for archery targets. 

Eagle-eyed Kardashian fans were divided between being proud of Penelope for being "fearless" and upset that the reality star allowed her little one to be near such a potentially dangerous weapon.

Fans also argued that Kourtney's daughter could have been hit by a stray arrow since she was standing near the bullseye.

Kourtney shares three kids – Mason, 12, Penelope and Reign with her ex Scott Disick.
