We knew some cruisers from France who netted off the v-berth, made a great
play pen.

I wouldn't bother with a baby seat. If something happened, you wouldn't
have time to get the baby out of the thing. Most people I know put crib
bumers up in their v-berths and use one of those expandable child gates
across the front. You will want to make sure there is enough padding
around
the baby so it doesn't get rolled around...if you didn't want to do that,
you could do the same thing inly in the quarter berth or aft cabin
area...the idea of a child in a carseat going overboard and sinking to the
bottom is just way too vivid for me....
