Have you been carrying your child’s car seat the wrong way? As convenient as car seats are, these clunky and hefty items can leave your back, neck, and shoulders sore if you’re lugging it around all day. Luckily, there’s a clever hack to take the weight off while carrying your baby safely in their car seat. In this article, we’ll show you the best way to carry a car seat.
Things You Should Know
- Carry the carseat by threading your arm through the handle. The top of the handle rests on your shoulder, and your hand grips the side of the carseat.
- You can also carry it against your stomach by wrapping your arms around the base of the carseat (as if you are giving it a hug).
- For especially heavy car seats, choose an option that comes with wheels or a lighter version with a carrying strap .
