Steve,

Maybe you are using the word "trap" differently than I would.

If the fielder does not have secure possession of the ball in his hand or glove at the time of the tag, it's not a legal tag.

If he is using some other body part (e.g., his chest) to maintain possession of the ball, and would lose possession without it, he has not met the criteria for a tag (or a catch, for that matter).
