We’ve Been Carrying Baby Car Seats WRONG The Whole Time And Here’s How To Do It Correctly

ADVERTISEMENT

If you’re a parent then you’ll no doubt be familiar with the back pain associated with carrying those awkward baby car seats. But a lot of that pain could be avoided if you just knew how to carry it right. Many people hook their arm through the handle and carry it in the crook of their elbow, but as you can see from the video below, there’s a much easier way to do it.

“It’s not going to hurt your shoulder, it’s not going to hurt your hip, and you’re not going to have to use your knee to swing like I had to do with my two [kids],” explains Dr Emily Puente of the Bridge Family Chiropractic in Mansfield, Texas. “Someone taught me this before, and it’s been the greatest thing.” The video has already been shared over 50k times since Puente uploaded it to Facebook, and it’s easy to see why when you watch it. Scroll down to see for yourself. It might just save your back.

1: Where are you carrying the weight of the seat and the baby ? 2: Isn't this hurting the elbow on the long run ? I've been carrying with my hand turned outside like this, and I couldn't do it for long because the position of my elbow wasn't natural.

I made a baby with the wrong person also. I want a tutorial on that as well.

Why carry around a car seat that much? It's supposed to be in the car or to and from the car?!

"that much"? carrying it from & to your car (sometimes also couple stories up, since not all apartment buildings have elevators) can be enough to make you really tired.

Everyone I've ever seen carrying a baby seat has done it like this. Without watching this video. Just use that thing inside your head.

An advisory video filmed in vertical mode? Sorry, content notwithstanding, but I simply do not get it why people 10 years after the advent of smartphones continue to film in vertical mode. Anyone else feels that this has spoiled so many videos that would otherwise be worth watching?

I agree with you totally. But I believe it's because it's more comfortable and more natural to hold your phone vertically in your hand. Especially if you've got a big screen.
