I was thinking it would simply bite onto the hair, but a specialised organ could also exist i suppose.

If it was holding on the mother/father would be able to get the baby out of danger much faster than the baby swimming. And it would be able to swim furthur.

And yes, if the parent was killed the baby stands no chance.
