ISTR that regular AT pax flights had a thing called a Skycot for babies, sort of a carry cot that dangled from the overhead.
As you say the "Skycot" was suspended from the hat rack that aircraft used to have before the introduction of overhead bins. Back in the days of British United Airways I was a member of the Design Office and recall producing a modification for the BAC 111 to introduce the locating points for the "Skycots" when BUA had the Air Trooping Contract.
