A moveable support apparatus for supporting a child seat 16 comprises a housing with a base to be supported on a contact surface and walls 28, 30 upstanding from the base. A platform 14, supported on, received within and movable relative to the housing, is configured to receive and support the seat on an upper surface, preventing access to components within the housing in use. The apparatus has at least one actuator (20, figure 12) which is operative to displace the surface 14, causing it to move in or about two axes, and a vibration module which causes smaller movements of the platform. The plate 14 may taper between two opposed faces and the wall may comprise two or more pieces with interlocking parts, which may be slidable engaged with each other. The apparatus helps soothe an infant within the seat 16 to sleep by mimicking the movements that would be imparted on the seat during travel in a vehicle.
