Rhode Island-based Summer Infant was founded in 1985 when a dad needed a safe place to put his daughter Summer while his hands were busy elsewhere; he created the original Bouncy Seat and thus a business was born. Today the company is a leading designer and manufacturer of juvenile health, safety and wellness products intended to make life the best it can be for parents and their babies. Monitors, swaddles, safety gates and more, the publically traded company markets goods under several brands including the Summer® Infant, SwaddleMe® and Born Free® brands. Notable products include video baby monitors, infant car seats and travel systems, digital baby monitors, strollers, bassinets, high chairs, baby and crib bedding sets, playards, lightweight folding strollers, baby safety gates, musical swings, crib bumpers, baby bathtubs, musical mobiles, baby changing pads, nursery décor, shopping cart covers, infant travel beds and more.
