Refers to the slightly loopy child's game whereby the youngster stretches out on his tummy and raises himself up on his hands, whereupon an adult or somewhat bigger child grasps and lifts the kid's ankles and then slowly "trundles" him forward while the child walks along on his hands. An ideal activity to keep a child "occupied for a few" when there's nothing else to do at the time, or to painlessly compel a hyper/rambunctious child to quit horsing around, since he cannot do anything else while partaking of the game.
Senior-high student: My little brother and I got tired of waiting for the school bus, so we did the wheelbarrow walk around the lawn till the bus finally showed up fifteen minutes late.
