Usually with piggyback the person being "carried" who is holding on to the one doing the "carrying", and not necessarily the other way around. I would see carrying as situations where the one doing the carrying is holding onto the person that is being carried (whether the other way around applies or not).
Then again there are already a few images with the carrying tag thanks to the implication from shoulder carry that do not fit this eg. post #473334. This implication was made with no discussion, though, and in a topic (topic #4622) that didn't even mention that it contained this implication.
There is also currently no distinction like this in any of the wikis.

Piggyback actually requires the person carrying to support/hold the carried with their hands to fit the definition of 'piggyback' which also fits the definition of 'carry'. Rarely is it the case that the one being 'carried' is completely supporting themself by clinging to the person's back with both arms and legs.
True with shoulder carry the person being 'carried' can be seen as supporting themself since the person is sitting on the carrier's shoulders and balancing on their own (like post #473334 you mentioned), which is why there is another name 'shoulder riding' that I think shouldn't implicate carrying if we were to create the tag for special cases (or we could just unalias shoulder ride from shoulder carry and use that tag). The reason shoulder carry should implicate carrying is because the carrier usually supports the person by holding onto the person's legs.
Arent supporting and carrying two different things? To me shoulder carry would be what the tag carrying_over_shoulder currently means.
-1 to original suggestion as it will be used for people clinging to other peoples backs.
I'm actually for the implication. The definition of 'carry' is to 'support and move (someone or something) from one place to another' therefore in order to carry something you need to support it. Cambridge dictionary goes further: 'to hold something or someone with your hands, arms, or on your back and transport it, him, or her from one place to another'. Piggyback fits the requirements.
