This reminds me of the natural (although more gentle) swaying and swinging 
that babies get while they are "worn" in a sling or carrier, while the mom 
is walking or doing chores.

I recall, as a new mom, reading Dr. Sears talking about how babywearing 
helps a baby get "organized".  I had no idea what that meant, at the time.

Doesn't the Continuum Concept also theorize something like this - that these 
babies who were continually worn, had better balance, etc - were more 
in-tune with their environment.

I often wonder in my car-sickness and fear of heights could be because I was 
not carried enough as a child.
