Shoulder View

What’s the best way to carry a toddler? It usually depends on the size and the mood that they’re in. If they want speed, they prefer the piggyback but if they don’t hold on properly then they’ll end up wrapping their arms around your neck. If they’re curious, then they want to explore and be as high up on your shoulders as possible to see the world. In this case, they can sit on your shoulders with their legs dangling down your arms while you grab onto their knees. But you’ve got to be able to lift them up that high to get there in the first place, and a tiny bit higher to get them to come down. If you can find somewhere for them to stand to raise their height then it’s easy for them to climb on but you need them to be confident to climb off afterwards or be able to lift them up and over. Sometimes it’s a question of balance.
