WOONSOCKET, R.I., Dec. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Summer Infant, Inc. (“Summer Infant” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:SUMR), a global leader in premium infant and juvenile products, today announced that the Company is on track in terms of new product introductions this quarter, with many new monitors, strollers, and seats either already in stores or planned for shipment later this month. Management’s opinion of overall year-end demand remains positive, mirroring what was indicated on the Company’s third quarter earnings call.

“I am happy to announce that Summer Infant, as anticipated, is seeing nice top line performance this quarter – indicative of solid demand across a number of key product categories – and our product innovation continues with the introduction of several exciting new items,” said Mark Messner, President and CEO. “Our patent-pending Baby PixelTM 5.0 touchscreen color video monitor provides peace of mind by allowing parents to know their babies are secure within our SleepZoneTM Virtual Boundary. In addition, our My Bath SeatTM provides a helping hand to parents at bath time and is great for increasingly-mobile infants transitioning to a regular tub. We’re also introducing new mini strollers and a cool SuperSeat this quarter, as we look to boost our positioning heading into 2018. Overall, we’re excited about our entire lineup and continue to work on product development as well as a revamped channel strategy.”
