A TikTok video from Arizona mom Whitney Sheahan has racked up more than 40 million views after she tested the power folding back seat on her brand new Ford Expedition. In the clip, Sheahan places a baby sized doll on the third row seat and presses the auto fold button, fully expecting the seat to stop the moment it touches the doll. It does not. The seat keeps pressing down until the doll is completely flattened underneath it.
Sheahan was inspired to run the test after the death of a 2 year old girl from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. On March 7, the toddler was killed in Akron when the third row power seat in her family’s 2026 Hyundai Palisade folded down on her, according to People. Her father had stepped into a Restaurant Depot while her mother stayed in the parked SUV with two children. The seat somehow activated and pinned the little girl.
