As this rumor goes, Chevrolet once promoted the area behind passenger seats as 'a safe, comfortable way to carry your baby' because it was the 'warmest place in the car … and the vibrations from the engine would lull the baby to sleep.'
, told Snopes by email that the claim has been around for a while, but does not represent a real product or marketing tactic:
Realize, when the 1960 Corvair came out, it was a unique automobile. The trunk space was in the front, and additional storage space was provided behind the rear seat. 1960 Corvairs, in particular, had a deeper rear storage area due to it having a gas heater in front. There may have been some Corvair owners who decided to lay their babies or let their kids sit in the rear storage area, but it was never endorsed by GM or Chevrolet.
The other expert, Larry Claypool,"stated he never saw this photo appear in any automotive publications from back in the day when the 1960 Corvair came out i.e. Motor Trend, Road & Track, etc. He also stated that if this baby cradle device ever did exist, it would have appeared in the J.C. Whitney Catalog ."
