Carry her where? It seems odd to be carrying a second grader.

Don't let them throw your back out. That won't make you a good mother. Hold hands walking and cuddle when sitting.

Honestly, about 2 1/2. When they could walk reliably. No reason to carry an able bodied child. If it’s too long of a walk, you bring a stroller. Independence is good for kids.
If they want to cuddle, we do so sitting down.

I'll still carry my 53 inch, 54 pound eight year old sometimes, but if it was hurting I'd probably stop.

My youngest is 4 and loves me carrying him. But I need to stop. He is killing my body. He is 52 pounds and as long as a 7 year old. I feel bad because he is the baby and a big mamas boy. Do I just quit cold turkey? Or talk to him about it?
My 9 year old is 52 lbs and as long as a 7 year old. She loves to be carried and she's my youngest so I indulge her - in private, not public.

I probably stopped regularly carrying them around 5. Occasionally, I’d carry them up until 7 if they fell asleep and I needed to move them or they hurt themselves.

I still carry my 5 year old, but rarely. It kills my back. DH does it more and it really kills his. She doesn’t get that she’s not so small anymore, and I kinda love it. But at the same time…usually tell her that I can’t (or not for very long)!

Around 55 pounds/48 inches, which was around 5 years old.

For the older ones whenever I had to carry their younger sibling around all the time (though the number of times I have been wearing an older infant on my back and carrying a toddler is substantial).
For the youngest when it became uncomfortable and also when they really needed to be developing their own strength.
But I still pick all but the one who is bigger than me up on occasion because they think it's fun and that snaps them out of a bad mood. That'll stop or they'll get bigger than me soon enough.

Whenever they weigh too much.

45 lbs / 5 for the same reason (too heavy and killing my back). I didn't have a talk, but when they reached up, I hugged them and then asked them to walk as I wasn't strong enough to keep picking them up. I also added some extra cuddles.

My daughter is almost 8 and is about 45 lbs and 49 inches tall.
We stopped regularly carrying her probably around 5 or so.
Once in a great while I’ll pick her up if she’s very upset about something.
But generally she’s too heavy and tall.
