sitting on lap

Question

I am trying to translate:

"The mother let her son sit on her lap."

My attempt:

"La madre ha dejado a su hijo sentarse en el regazo."

Is this correct?

Thanks

Answer 1

"The mother let her son sit on her lap."

"La madre dejo a su hijo sentarse en sus piernas."

Thanks, "ha dejado" doesn't work? - elCocoLoco, Jul 12, 2011
