A soft cradle with a firm bottom. The lap cradle is strapped around the legs with a wedge-shaped cushion that tilts the baby inwards on the child parent’s lap. The baby is also strapped into the cradle. The solution is like having a small baby carriage/pram attached to the parent’s lap. According to the manufacturer the cradle is suitable for infants up to about 3 months.
