A child motion apparatus comprising:
- a base;
- a seat arranged above the base, the seat including a bottom frame segment, a seatback frame segment, and a first and a second surrounding frame portion pivotally connected with each other, the bottom frame segment having a front and a rear end, the seatback frame segment being pivotally connected with the rear end of the bottom frame segment, the first surrounding frame portion being pivotally connected with the seatback frame segment, and the second surrounding frame portion being pivotally connected with the front end of the bottom frame segment;
- and
- an upright column disposed below the seat and pivotally supporting the seat above the base, the upright column being connected with the bottom frame segment at a location between the front end and the rear end thereof.
A child motion apparatus comprising:
- a base having a shell body;
- a seat arranged above the shell body of the base;
- a bar segment fixedly connected with the seat and disposed inside the shell body;
- an upright column pivotally supporting the seat above the base, the upright column defining a rotation axis of the seat relative to the base;
