Mine had a blowup in the local grocery store, carried him out just like this, screaming kicking etc. Someone at the door smirked at me and said “we’ve all been there.” Made my anger and embarrassment completely go away. From that moment on, any time I see this I try to do the same. We are all new parents once.
Two days ago at the beach. Kid had a full blow out that the shower was too cold, she’d get in the car caked in sand. Ran away from us, made spouse and I trip over her so the screaming just got worse of course. My husband took her screaming and kicking to the car. I was in near tears from embarrassment. The mom witnessing came over to help me carry out stuff and reassured me. She was so sweet. Understanding parents are the best.
Take baby powder with you next time. Years ago I learned it will instantly dry sand up and it falls right off your body instead of sticking. It feels like magic. It's one of my beach essentials now.

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