71. How to Carry an Infant Car Seat Without Back, Arm, or Wrist Pain
from Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms | Stop pain, fix biomechanics, improve function · host Amanda Rabin
Infant car seat back pain is incredibly common — especially in the postpartum months. If you’re dealing with wrist pain from carrying a car seat, arm fatigue from the infant carrier, or shoulder and low back pain after lifting the baby seat, you’re not alone.

Over time, that daily strain adds up. In this episode, Amanda, physical therapist and ergonomic coach for working moms, breaks down how to carry an infant car seat without back, arm, or wrist pain using simple ergonomic adjustments, better lifting mechanics, and targeted strength support. Because while the car seat is part of daily life, ongoing back and wrist pain doesn’t have to be.
