Our son is due in less than two months. Just wondering if anyone sees any downside in this or can share from experience. I see only possibility.

Better make sure your wife gives birth in the altitude chamber, otherwise it's not really being BORN at altitude.
No, you'll win Troll of the Hour, maybe. It depends on how long it takes for you "week" troll thread to be vaporized by the mods.
Tried it with my first son. Did not work that well. He made it to state, but was only 6th. With my second son, I did the altitude tent and fitted him with a mask that simulates altitude. So far so good. He can crawl across the living room floor about 2.5 seconds faster than my first boy could at the same age. He cries a lot and has developed a bad rash on his face from the mask. But, whatever.
Make sure you inject him with some epo as soon as he's born
If you want to be the guy whose 7 y/o has better PRs than the old-man, fine, it's your life.
Dude first off, you're crazy. Secondly, you're crazy. Thirdly, I tired this with my first kid so I speak from experience. I pushed and pushed and pushed for him to be the best he could be (starting with the altitude tent upon birth) and I basically just taught him to hate running. Don't make the same mistake I did in going to hard too early.
Make sure he breastfeeds at altitude also. Mom needs to live in the tent as well to produce altitude-enhanced breast milk.
It will only work of you make him run to school when he turns 6.
The moment yoi drive him is the moment your dreams die.
Just like Bubble Boy. Stick a treadmill in there and don't let him out until he's run for 10,000 hours.
1/10
My kid sleeps on the roof. I figured 25 feet was better than nothing.
Don't do it. The diminished gravity in an altitude tent will make changing diapers much like the trouble that astronauts on the space station have.
The poop and urine will float around and be impossible to corral.
Not a healthy environment.
Sounds like a good idea- but you'll need to add a week or two onto the due date because of the effects of altitude on baking times.
My first child wife and I went to Death Valley for the birth then put him in a hyperbaric chamber of my own design, which was mostly a garbage bag and a Dyson set in reverse.
Now when he gets his a$$ whipped he has an excuse. Your kid's gonna watch some Kenyan's heels throughout college and become a serial killer by 30. You're a bad parent.

From what I have read, people who are born and live in sea level or lower elevation have more benefit from altitude when they go up leter in life

Why would an altitude tent affect gravity?
