I don't necessarily think the baby would go to the roof, but instead would go 90° from it's resting point to it's direction of movement, which would be that of the vehicle's before it comes to a sudden stop. Of course this also depends on how high the axis of rotation is, where the hammock tied. Another worry would be if the baby would hit the seats in a crash or can the ropes withstand the sudden strain caused by the crash.
Edit: changing wording to explain thought better

My grandmother told us about how when she was a baby (30s?) she rode in one of these across the country with her family.

Disappointed!

I don't know if I've wrapped my head around the physics of it, but I'm pretty sure that a sudden crash would just swing the baby up into the roof of the car with the same force of the impact. The hammock doesn't really take anything significant off that momentum, it just changes the direction. And I would think the roof of those old cars would be a lot more solid and unforgiving than the back of the seat.

My mom had a picture of me as a baby in my first car seat back in 75 that was just a foldable lawn chair seat with a bare metal cross bar.
Safety hadn't been invented yet.

We had a station wagon with a rear facing flip up seat in the back of the cargo area. I used to love sitting back there looking at all the drivers behind us. God save us if we were ever rear ended though.
Although the safety features weren’t like todays, the earliest cars I remember didn’t even have seatbelts, but there was also much less cars on the road back then. The serious accidents were still horrific and the chances of survival were nil. Growing up I had a family friend who was a paramedic and when I was old enough I heard some of the stories of the crashes he had been to and those images are still seared into my memory 30+ years later.

My dad had a '59 vw bus, without seatbelts. He told me it was illegal to put seatbelts in, because there were no hardpoints on the seats. I don't know how true that was. Se non e vero, e ben trovato
