I assumed they were asking if the technique someone uses to carry makes the body lighter, physically no but there's a huge difference lifting someone on your back vs with your arms (Unless you got a bad back

), so the method you lift matters

So it gives the impression it's lighter at least as does the liftee's state, a struggling one is more work etc hehe.
Definitely experiment! Personally I don't like giving piggybacks, for some reason I find cradling far more comfortable and easier though piggybacks should require less strength.
