In a video shared by Bahati and his wife, Diana Marua, on Instagram, the couple’s children were seen enjoying a sing-along session while in the car. The kids, including Bahati’s daughter Mueni, were jamming to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ hit song “Die With A Smile.”
As Diana panned the camera to capture the children, viewers noticed Heaven Bahati sitting on her father’s lap while he was behind the wheel. The young girl was singing along with enthusiasm, matching the lyrics flawlessly.
Bahati, however, appeared slightly distracted, occasionally pulling faces while driving. Despite the fun moment, many fans expressed concern over the risks of having a child in such a position while driving.
Fans Express Safety Concerns
While some netizens appreciated the bonding moment between the family, others pointed out the dangers of Bahati’s actions. Many reminded him of the potential risks, particularly regarding the steering wheel airbag and the consequences if it were to deploy.
Bahati and Diana’s Parenting Decisions Under Scrutiny
This is not the first time Bahati and Diana Marua’s parenting choices have come under public scrutiny. The couple, known for sharing their family life on social media, often receive mixed reactions regarding their decisions.
In a past interview, Diana addressed public concerns about their parenting, stating that while they appreciate feedback, they make decisions based on what they feel is best for their children. However, this recent incident has reignited conversations about road safety and responsible parenting.
Road Safety Concerns
Experts emphasize that children should always be securely fastened in the back seat while traveling in a car. According to traffic safety guidelines, having a child in the front seat, especially on a driver’s lap, increases the risk of severe injury in case of an accident. The deployment of an airbag can cause serious harm to a child seated in the front.
While Bahati and his family may have been enjoying a joyful moment, fans hope the celebrity couple takes road safety more seriously to set a responsible example for their followers.
