Claim 0:
1. An infant care apparatus comprising:
a base;
a drive mechanism coupled to the base and having a first motion assembly and a second motion assembly, wherein the first motion assembly has a first motor dependent from the base and the second motion assembly has a second motor separate and distinct from the first motor;
a vibratory mechanism connected to the base and arranged so as to cooperate with the drive mechanism, the vibratory mechanism having a vibration motor separate and distinct from the first and second motors of the drive mechanism;
a movable stage movably mounted to the base and operatively coupled to the first motion assembly so that the first motor imparts, via the first motion assembly, a first cyclic motion in a first direction to the movable stage, and to the second motion assembly so that the second motor imparts, via the second motion assembly, a second cyclic motion to at least part of the movable stage in a second direction independent of the first cyclic motion in the first direction imparted by the first motion assembly and to the vibratory mechanism so that the vibration motor vibrates the movable stage;
an infant support coupled to the movable stage so that the second cyclic motion and first cyclic motion is imparted to the infant support, and the infant support is configured to move cyclically in both the first direction and the second direction relative to the base; and
a controller communicably coupled to the drive mechanism, and configured so as to move the infant support in a selectably variable motion profile with selectable vibration modes selected, with the controller, from different selectably variable motion profiles and selectably different vibration modes for each of the different selectable variable motion profiles.
