Squirrel's point about cradle and front carries lines up with what I've read about how much easier they are on the lifter's back compared to shoulder carries. I'm in Portland, Maine, and mostly lurk here, but the recurring theme in these pages seems to be that leg position matters as much as grip. Page 31 of this thread has covered a lot of ground — curious whether anyone still favors piggyback over the rest, since it rarely gets mentioned in the recent posts.
