Common sense will tell you why. It's not padded for babies, they would not be strapped in, their heads are soft and not developed and would be injured. The turbulance, bouncing around during the landing and takeoffs would also damage their heads and maybe arms and legs. They would probably die of oxygen starvation since the compartment door has to remain shut for safety reasons.
You really need to skip the OP post and go to post 5. The posted story leaves too much out. All your assumptions are incorrect and irrelevant. The baby (actually, a toddler) was in no danger.

Was answering post #9, who thinks leaving babies in overhead bins is no problem in general. Or do you think that's wise.
To put a baby in an overhead bin, close it for 10 seconds and open it is not a big deal. Americans are all turning into sissies.
It only takes 1 sec for a baby to roll over and fall out onto the floor causing severe cerebral damage, become a paraplegic, or worse, death. So you're saying throw caution to the wind, be irresponsible and that's being a sissy. God help us with such irrational irresponsible degenerational thinking.

I find this statement lacking in logic. Babys move relatively slowly and would clearly take longer than 1 second to roll out of the overhead. That doesn't even account for the time for the baby to complete the drop to the ground. I recall someone falling 60 feet would take about a second and-a-half to reach the ground. Assuming that the first 6 feet is acceleration from 0 to 40 - 50 mph I would guess that it would take a good 3 or 4 seconds for baby to roll over and fall onto the floor. Plenty of time to stick your foot out and break baby's fall.
When I was in school there was no such thing as a snow day. One day, a blizzard hit, and a school bus taking the kids home got stuck. The kids on the bus all had to walk a couple hundred yards to a farmhouse, where they were all fed supper, played games, sang songs, had cake and ice cream, and were put to bed. The emergency mom got on the party line, gave the crank a few turns, and told everybody at once that the kids were safe.
Not one single child died, not one had to be treated by a psychiatrist for the ordeal. For every one of them, I bet that is their favorite memory of their school years.
Yet, in order to protect our precious children from such atrocities, we cancel school every time the sun goes behind a cloud. Get a grip.
If a foot or so of snow falls overnight, many work places and schools will have a delayed start. - So you can clear the snow from your drive.
People go to work.
Children go to school.
It's only snow. It does snow - usually between October and April.
Life doesn't stop because there is snow on the ground.
