Toddler asking to be picked up all the time

My son is 21mo and he loves to do things , walk or run around the house

he ran around most of a big park the other day had played football in his club in the morning

we had one morning of walking to nursery and now he just puts his arm up after like 5 mins and wants to be carried

I don’t think he’s tired, I think he just knows when he puts his arms up and threatens to throw a tantrum we’ll do it

Ive stupidly only just started using reins, I’ve been anxious and always had the buggy to hand because he runs and doesn’t like to be directed (throws a tantrum) so always would have the buggy to hand for public places

but now I’m worried have I made him lazy? I mean he doesn’t particularly like the buggy he wants carrying, not the buggy

or is it just a behavioural age thing he’ll grow out of? I am trying to stop responding to every ask to be picked up but in public places it’s hard because he’d throw a tantrum

Just read your update - well done! It will get easier the more you do it.
Congratulations on your pregnancy- extra special reason to not be walking while carrying!
