Before lifting, decide on the weight, aisle space, and placement location.

Even with the same weight, ease of handling can vary.

Dolls are large in size and have soft parts and movable joints, so they feel different to hold than a box of the same weight. Before purchasing, check not only the weight of the doll itself, but also whether it includes the head, whether there are any removable parts, and whether you will need to move it around regularly. It's practical to include being able to manage it comfortably as a selection criterion.

Before you start moving, create an endpoint.

Check for doors, corners, and steps along the route, and prepare resting places along the way and the final resting surface beforehand. Remove any slippery or sharp objects from the surrounding area. Check the manufacturer's instructions for how to hold the main unit, and do not use only one part, such as the neck or one arm, as a handle.

It is not assumed that one person can carry it.

Being able to lift something a little is one thing, and being able to safely carry it through a narrow passageway is another. If you need to change your grip or use stairs, arrange for assistance or appropriate carrying equipment. When two people are working together, share signals and place locations, and ensure that neither person suddenly lets go. After moving, check the connections and surfaces for any changes.
