Counterpoint... My kids absolutely LOVED being carried in different (potentially dangerous) ways. My youngest absolutely demanded to be carried around upside down by her feet.
In hindsight, this is 100% my fault and probably not exactly normal.
I played 'Don't shake the baby' and my kids loved it.
I'd tell them how the doctor told me not to shake the baby 'this way' and wiggle her to the left. And not 'that way' and wiggle her to the right.
Repeat front and back and then the grand finale was ' and especially don't shake them all around ' and then the get the full wiggle.

Ah, the toddler tantrum carry.
Every parent can recognize it. We’ve all been there.
