oomis, not to argue the point, but I am still not sure what you are visualizing. A 3-5 month old baby wrapped in a blanket can lay down snuggly in this space with walls on ALL sides coming up a good 6 inches around him and space on all sides. Whether you would place him there or not, I am not sure what about it seems so misguided. “
SYAG, babies of that age and size are VERY wriggly and totally unpredictable. The space is really not all that large, unless they are SITTING up with their feet extended across the width of that space (which sounds very uncomfrotable to me as I viaualize it). I would not rely on a child to stay put, and they would not stay put if they are awake, as it is a very cramped area in which to be stuck. And to put something ON TOP of the baby????????? OY!.
