Senior coroner Darren Salter told the inquest that the baby’s injuries were ‘non-specific’ but caused by being ‘trapped or pinned’ in an enclosed space.
He said: “It is unclear if the injuries were caused when she was within or under the mechanism of the chair or between the chair and the wall.”
Mr Salter ruled her death as an accident.
