RE: [T2] Child's cot



My canvas "seems" to be in pretty good shape. Thanks for the tips about the ends though, we were more concerned about him rolling off than them coming out - now that you mention it - that seems VERY possible. Gonna look into so methods of locking them in...
Speaking of the quality of the material - has anyone had any luck anything 
other than the factory type stuff? I was thinking about going to an 
upholstery shop and having some pieces custom made out of stronger canvas.

I think your limits are way off.  I think the limit for the fold out
cot is around 100 pounds.  The limit for the child's cot that goes
over the front seat is around 30 pounds.  I could be a bit on the
conservative side but not by much.  One of my kids who weighs about
135 has used the fold out cot, however, the canvas is in like new
condition.  Remember that these cots weaken over time.  The original
canvas for my fold out cot failed when a kid was playing around in
it.  This canvas had spent most of its life in New Mexico.

With the child's cot over the drivers seat, age is more important
than weight.  The attachments to the pillars are not that secure.  As
soon as the child awakes, he or she should be removed from the cot.
If the child starts to move around, one of the poles will slip out
and "down will come baby, cradle and all."  I speak from experience
here.  Also, don't store any hard or sharp objects on the seats or
floor when the baby is in the cot.
