Current SUMR™ Brands are Summer™, SwaddleMe® and born free®.

You have us.” Summer™ products will be sold on summerinfant.com and at online and offline retailers. Its new line expands upon successful product platforms and includes a baby monitor, stroller and potty.

“SwaddleMe®” is a trusted brand which resonates with first-time expectant and experienced parents alike. Its recently-launched “luxe” line of infant swaddles features extra soft fabrics, easy-change technology and different options for baby body position based on the latest research.

The “born free” brand will be relaunched this spring for consumers interested in well-designed essentials that are “irresistible by design.” born free® products will be sold on shopbornfree.com, and its unique new line will include a baby carrier, combination bouncer/rocker, entertainer, multiple playards and a stroller.
