Overview
The Summer 13404 sits in the entry-level highchair segment at $32.73, and the sheer volume of owner feedback (nearly 9,900 reviews) gives it a level of credibility that is uncommon at this price point. A 4.6-star rating from that many reviewers suggests consistent satisfaction rather than a handful of glowing outliers.
Because the listed specs are minimal, buyers should know that most highchairs in this class from Summer Infant are designed with straightforward assembly, a wipeable seat area, and basic safety straps. Summer Infant products typically meet ASTM safety standards, which is a baseline expectation for any feeding seat sold in the US.
At under $35, the Summer 13404 trades premium materials and multi-position recline for affordability and simplicity. Families on a tight budget or those who need a second chair for a grandparent's home will likely find it fits the bill without regrets.

- No confirmed recline, tray-release, or footrest adjustment noted in available data
Performance notes
Highchairs at this price point are typically used for standard mealtime seating once a baby can sit upright with support. Owner reviews at this volume and rating suggest the Summer 13404 handles that core job well. Cleanability is a common concern for any feeding seat, and summer Infant chairs in this segment typically use wipe-clean surfaces, though buyers should verify tray and seat material before purchase.
What buyers say
With 9,900 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, owner sentiment is clearly positive. At this review count, the average reflects a wide range of real-world households, which makes the rating meaningfully reliable. The most common praise for Summer Infant entry chairs centers on ease of use and value, though some buyers at this tier note limitations in padding or adjustability.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Summer 13404 suitable from birth or does the baby need to sit up first?
Most standard highchairs in this class are designed for babies who can sit with some support, typically around 6 months. The Summer 13404 does not list a recline feature in available specs, so it is best used once your baby has reasonable head and core control. Always check the product listing for the manufacturer's minimum age and weight guidance.
Is the tray on the Summer 13404 dishwasher-safe?
The product record does not confirm whether the tray is dishwasher-safe. Many entry-level highchair trays are top-rack dishwasher safe, but we recommend checking the full product description or contacting Summer Infant directly to confirm before purchasing.
