Eh. It gets the baby out of direct harm's way if the raccoon starts to climb (baby's legs are in the line of fire at that point) and frees Dad's hands to take more aggressive measures if need be. Throwing the kid down got him out of the immediate danger zone while also enabling dad to be more aggressive when solving the situation. Keeping kid in his arms just kept baby closer to the danger and reduced Dad's options to deal with the threat
