Wedbush downgraded Summer Infant (NASDAQ: SUMR) from Outperform to Neutral, price target lowered from $10 to $6.

Wedbush analyst says, "Downgrading due to: 1. disappointing initial reception for the new baby car seat, and 2. further shipment delays for the upcoming new internet-enabled video monitor.
