Sept. 7 (UPI) -- An Idaho man enlisted the help of his 5-year-old son to break a Guinness World Record for the fastest 10-meter shuttle run while pushing a stroller.

David Rush, who has broken more than 200 Guinness records to promote STEM education, said the stroller run record had been on his radar for a couple of years, but he had to wait for his son to meet the minimum weight requirement of 44 pounds.

Rush posted a video to YouTube showing how he had to start by setting up the stroller, then scooped his son up into the seat, ran the required 10-meter (32.8-foot) distance, and broke the stroller back down.

The team's time to beat was 15 seconds, and they managed the feat in 10.04 seconds.
