Not the way he did it.
I'm a short out of shape woman. I can still pick up a kid that size. Can't carry them far but I can.
It's about the heft. You gotta get like this momentum and use your arms in two locations. Around the armpits and the other under the butt.
The other way is if you are going to rest them on your hip. You have them face you directly. Hand under each armpit. Hoist. And again. Get momentum. So there is help pulling them up. And also the kid has to know they need to wrap their legs around your hip.
I guess I dont know for sure if this works for men. As they don't have hips that can stick out like that. ?
Kids can also do this thing I call the noodle. They go all limp. It makes them impossible to pick up the way that guy is doing it. You absolutely have to do the first method I mentioned.
I don't even have kids. I'm an auntie. And I used to babysit when I was younger. Which is why I decided to never have children.
But yeah. The "hoist" or "momentum" is necessary.
