Try a stretch cargo net from a FLAP.  With some hooks around the perimeter
you could segregate that area. Be mindful of net opening size though (
smaller would be better) . You wouldn't want to wake up to a bad scene down
below.
Also, maybe one of the metal cargo dividers available for many SUV's and
station wagons would work. Again, be mindful of openings that could trap
the little tyke!
