WOONSOCKET, R.I., Oct. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer
Infant® (NASDAQ: SUMR), a global leader in premium
infant and juvenile products, stood out from the crowd at last
week's ABC Kids Expo, the premier juvenile products industry show,
as the company revealed new product lines and innovations, and was
recognized with five awards and accolades. The ABC Kids Expo
showcases tens of thousands of juvenile products each year, with a
select few singled out for excellence by industry experts. Summer
Infant received top honors this year for its current and 2016
offerings in the following categories: bath, swaddle
blankets, bottles and baby monitors.
"The many awards Summer Infant received at the ABC Kids Expo is
a testament to the team's fantastic talent, dedication and
promising success heading into 2016," said Dan Almagor, Chairman of the Board of Summer
Infant. "We are proud and excited of the reaction to the varied new
and innovative product offerings that have been thoughtfully
designed for today's savvy and technologically-advanced
families."
Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA), a valued organization
comprised of a community of parent product testers, awarded their
Top Picks of ABC to two Summer Infant products: The Lil'
Luxuries® Whirlpool, Bubbling Spa & Shower – an item
from the company's luxury baby bath collection – and the Babble
Band – the first wearable audio monitor, available in 2016. PTPA
narrowed its selection to a mere 40 product finalists, but only 20
were given the prestigious honor.
"We are thrilled to honor products at the ABC Kids Expo that our
judges regard as innovative and deserving," said Sharon Vinderine, founder & CEO of PTPA
Media, Inc. "The Summer Infant products that were selected as our
2015 ABC Top Picks award stood out from the competition, and we're
excited to have them as part of our inaugural group of
winners."
The baby product experts at The Bump, a leading pregnancy and
parenting resource, awarded two soon-to-be-released Summer Infant
items with its Editor's Choice awards – the Babble Band wearable
audio monitor and Born Free baby bottles. Less than 100 of the many
products on display at ABC Kids Expo were given Editor's Choice
awards by The Bump.
The BabyList Baby Registry, a universal registry service, gave
its "2015 Best Pick" award to the widely-used, parent-trusted
Summer Infant SwaddleMe® line at ABC Kids Expo. The
selection was based on feedback from 8,000 parent registrants that
have babies between six months and one year of age. SwaddleMe was a
winner in the "Swaddle" category.
In addition to the launches of the Babble Band and Born Free
bottles, Summer Infant will also offer in 2016 the anticipated
Summer Smart Nursery collection, a new Baby My Baby massage line,
an extension of its portable on-the-go product line, new
Kiddopotamus toys, and more.
