Charlie weighs around 35 pounds and I carry him around as needed when we're running late for something... thank goodness I worked out in high school and college! It does a number on my back sometimes... but I've started working out again recently and it's gotten a bit easier to carry him... hopefully I can carry him as needed for another 10-15 pounds or so.
How much does your LO weigh... and how much do you have to carry them?

19 lbs and I have to carry her All. The. Time. She's 19 months so she's wiggly too.
When we were traveling, she refused all stroller naps, but would nap in the ergo, so I carried her for at least an hour (more like 2-3) every day with the ergo and probably another hour without it throughout the day as we were walking around.

Around 31lbs, and while we're at home I carry him pretty regularly (he's been really clingy lately...). But it's stomach to stomach with his legs around my hips and his arms around my neck so his weight is pretty well distributed.

31 lbs and I carry her a little... It's mostly lifting her onto the potty. But sometimes I carry her to/from the car if it's raining. She likes me to carry her downstairs in the morning but other than that I don't really carry her which is good bc she's getting heavy! I'm only 5 feet and my husband says it like ridiculous when I carry her around

18 lbs and only 6 months old so I carry her quite a bit. I generally don't mind but the infant car seat is SO HEAVY with her in it . I think we are switching to a convertible next week.

About 20 lbs and I carry her sometimes. She loves to walk, but I also have to pick her up a lot if she is about to do something dangerous (mostly outside or in public). She is a dare devil lately.

LO is 23lbs (and 22 months) and loves to be carried. Luckily for her, I love to carry her! 
I wear her in a sling a lot, but she also loves to just chill out on a hip.

Around 24-25 lbs at 25 months. I still carry her around a lot - she's such a big baby and loves to be carried and held. I would estimate I carry her around maybe 75% of the time when we are out? It gets exhausting!

22lbs at 9 months old - so I basically have to carry her everywhere lol. She's heavy!

23 pounds at 20 months and carry him pretty regularly. He is going through a clingy stage and wants to be carried a lot and snuggled.

DD (almost 4yrs)-around 35lbs; she walks most of the time but often wants to be picked up
DS (18m)-30.6lbs; he gets carried a lot because although he can walk he isn't the greatest about holding hands and I'm not confident in his ability on stairs

Somewhere between 11 and 12 pounds. We have to carry him at 7 weeks!

20 months, 21 pounds, I rarely get to carry him anymore since he likes to run around. I will always carry him in the parking lot, unless dh is with me and we'll both hold his hand from the parking lot to the store.

23 pounds at almost 18 months, and I carry her the majority of the time, even though she's now voicing her opinion to walk which is fine because she gets heavy!! ha

26-ish pounds for each and I can still juggle both of them at the same time! One hip for each.
