A child motion apparatus includes an apparatus base, a movable carrier, a seat mount, a motion mechanism, and a seat assembly. The movable carrier is movably disposed on the apparatus base along a sliding direction. The seat mount is rotatably connected to the movable carrier about a rotation axis perpendicular to the sliding direction. The motion mechanism includes a sliding mechanism and a rotating mechanism. The sliding mechanism connects the movable carrier and the apparatus base for sliding the movable carrier relative to the apparatus base along the sliding direction. The rotating mechanism is disposed on the movable carrier and connected to the seat mount for rotating the seat mount about the rotation axis. The seat assembly is detachably connected to the seat mount, so that the seat assembly slides and rotates together with the seat mount.

An infant sleep inducing device that in application, simulates the vibrations that occur in an automobile to soothe a restless infant. The infant sleep inducing device generally comprising a playback device connected to an amplifier, a tactile transducer, a battery source, a housing that defines an inner chamber, and a mounting bracket. A top panel is releasably attached to the housing and includes a central opening. The playback device, amplifier, and battery source are contained within the inner chamber in such a way as to define a recessed portion in the inner chamber. The recessed portion is aligned with the central opening of the top panel. The tactile transducer is received within the recessed portion and a head of the transducer is aligned to project through the central opening of the top panel and is in direct contact with a surface area, such as a surface portion of the infant carrier to transmit physical vibrational impulses to the surface area.

Vibration devices are described that provide soothing movement or motion to a person, such as an infant or toddler, laying in a bed. The vibration devices are not part of, but are separately attachable to/removable from, the bed. The vibration devices utilize a control section that is outside the bed and a passive or active transmission element located underneath the mattress that transfers vibration motion to mattress the person is laying on. The devices described herein may also produce noise resulting from the generated movement that may be soothing to the person laying on the mattress.
