It was supposed to be an innocent picture of son Saint riding in the car with mom.

But instead Kim Kardashian, 36, sparked a firestorm of criticism after posting an image to Facebook in June showing Saint buckled into a car seat in the forward position.

Observations immediately flooded the social media maven's comments section, with many calling into question Kim's mothering abilities.

Speaking up: On Thursday, Kim Kardashian released a video defending her 20-month-old Saint's seat orientation

'He is so cute let's protect this handsome boy by making sure is rear facing,' posted follower Margaret Diaz, who was just one of the 1.8 thousand commenters.

Finally, on Thursday, the reality queen released a video defending the 20-month-old's seat orientation.

She began the video by describing the situation for her fans.

Sitting calmly in a flattering white bodysuit which showed off her ample assets, the wife of Kanye West stated 'so I took a photo of Saint and he was sitting forward and so they say for his age he should be rear facing.'

The mother of two then set things straight for her fans by revealing why she made the decision to allow him to sit looking forward.

'But what people didn't know is that Saint is now the weight and the height requirement to sit forward facing. Saint actually weighs more than North if that is believable.'

The American Academy of Pediatrics tells parents 'to keep their toddlers in rear-facing car seats until age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat.'

'Saint (right) actually weighs more than North if that is believable,' claimed Kim (brother and sister pictured back in April 2016)

California has even codified a requirement that children under two must use a rear-facing seat unless they are at least 40 inches tall and weigh at least 40 pounds.

Later in the video, Kim switched gears to talk about 4-year-old daughter North's future in the media.

Kim gushed that she has 'obsessive plans to build [North's] empire,' before qualifying that by saying 'I love her experiencing my life and what goes on. But I also love her having such a childhood life.'

'Whatever she wants to do I’ll support that. No matter what it is,' admitted the KUWTK star.
