The original Puritans had a conversion experience and then became full members of the church. Then they were eligible to get married in a Puritan church, have their babies baptized, and be buried by the church.
When their babies became of legal age, they did not have the conversion experiences of the original Puritans. They still wanted to participate in the church rituals. The half way convenient was created for them. They would become church members but not voting church members unless and until they had a conversion experience. They could get married, get their children baptized, and get buried in the church.

Halfway Covenant
The Halfway Covenant was made by churches because they felt people were drifting away from their religion. So this Covenant stated that if you come on over and baptize your child and they will get membership to the church. However it was not full membership because they were still not allowed to vote nor accept communion.
It provided partial church membership for children of church members.
Because not all children accepted Christ.
