Well, YouTube has brought us a wonderful gift from a family of chiropractors to help ease your parenting pains! Bridge Family Chiro gives us a fabulous tip on how to carry a packed car seat without setting yourself up for years of achy joints.
For starters, think about how you carry your baby’s car seat now. Odds are you loop your arm through the carrier’s handle and allow the full weight of it to sit on the inside of your elbow, right?
Unfortunately, this go-to technique is the source of back and shoulder pain for many parents. As soon as you hold the carrier in the wrong way, you’re putting serious strain on your upper back, shoulders, and even your hips. And if you’re going to be out running errands with this strain, you’re only going to damage your body that much further.
The good news is that there’s a simple solution that will help ease your bodily pains and make carrying this seat ten times easier! It doesn’t require a special type of car seat or any fancy attachment — in fact, you loop your arm through the handle as you would normally. However, one small adjustment to the way you’re holding the carrier, and everything changes.
Make sure to watch the quick video below to see how this pain-free technique is done.
