1. An infant care apparatus comprising:
- a base;
a drive mechanism coupled to the base, the drive mechanism comprising a horizontal reciprocating assembly comprising a sliding stage; and
a vertical reciprocating assembly disposed on an upper surface of the sliding stage of the horizontal reciprocating assembly;
a controller electronically coupled to the drive mechanism;
a support device coupled to the drive mechanism, the support device configured to be moved in both a horizontal direction relative to the base by the horizontal reciprocating assembly and a vertical direction relative to the base by the vertical reciprocating assembly; and
a dual scissor mechanism positioned between the support device and the sliding stage, the dual scissor mechanism configured to support the support device,wherein the drive mechanism is controlled by the controller wherein the controller is configured to move the support device in a plurality of visually distinctive motion profiles relative to the base that are obtained by independently controlling, by the controller, horizontal movement provided by the horizontal reciprocating assembly and vertical movement provided by the vertical reciprocating assembly and then coordinating, by the controller, the horizontal and vertical movements to obtain the plurality of visually distinctive motion profiles.
