As it relates to differential

Works great
We tested it out the other day
The shoulder area experiences a tad compression
Add plenty of differential along the shoulder area and the bum for sure!!

Regarding my build specs for these....I really now prefer to make my UQ's using more or less the wooki design...but my buddy didn't want that for his kid quilts, so I just made an incubator style...
