Tell me about Babies R US Trade In Event

Can you take in any cheap $5 umbrella stroller to get the 25% off? Any insights on how it all works??

 

[Cedarmom]

Yes. You can. You just have to use the coupon the same day.

The coupon that you receive is good only that day on 1 item from select brands. We traded in a stroller last weekend and plan to trade in a carseat this weekend.

So glad I saw this on here. Hadn't heard of it.
DDs spare car seat (grandma's car) is about to expire. Do you just take it in the store without an appointment?

Anyone have a link to the details?

This is the link to the online description, it is happening until Feb 20th http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=3554261

It alos came out in their sales ad last weekend (I think it was in TRU's ad too). If you are on their mailing list then there was a nice percentage off coupon glued to the front

I have a 20% off coupon for one item . The first PM gets it. Please state in the thread if you PM me, so that everyone will know that it is taken.

hi there....I work at BRU . The trade in event is basically bring in any old carseat, stroller, travel system, crib, play yard, highchair, toddler bed or bassinet and get a 25% off coupon for any new item (carseat, stroller, travel system, crib, play yard, highchair, toddler bed or bassinet) from the participating manufacturers. When I went to work the other day, I was told that you can trade in a swing as well, but not use the coupon on a new swing

It does not matter how old, how dirty, gross, disgusting, covered with spider webs, layers of mold etc or what brand the trade in item is (can you tell I've seen a lot of disgusting trade ins since this started last week ) The coupon is only good that day and can not be combined with any other coupons for the same item. No appointment neccesary. Hope that helps!

Does a booster seat count as a car seat?

Or does it have to be a 5 point harness type seat?

Thanks for info. I might have to buy some cheap junk at a consignment shop or off craigslist just to trade in. It would be well worth it to get the 25% off. Baby #2 is on the way so I am in the market for a double stroller, but I'd rather not trade in my nice single stroller. It seems smarter to buy a cheap $5-10 used thing rather than give up my nice stroller or single jog stroller.

Yes. Any carseat.

I traded in a very beat up, about to expire marathon and bought a backless booster with the discount. I saw people trading in booster seats, cheapy umbrella strollers etc.

Took all of 5 minutes, I walked up to the customer service desk and was in and out. I was also able to use a $3 r us coupon with the 20% discount. Now it's 25% and I would assume you can use a coupon with it, I don't know if my expereince was a mistake or not though because it does say you can't use any other coupon with it. I did it the last trade in around time.

My In-Laws(we were with them) did this last week traded in my Niece on that side old stroller and got me and DH a new Graco Metrolite Travel System!! It was awesome to get such a deal. We had no problems at all and that was the first day of the promo.

Man I wish you could do it for the swing or highchair... that is the only other BIG item we have to get.

One other detail is that you can not use any other offers with the 25% coupon you receive. Another words, if you have a 20% off any baby item coupon you can not combine that with the 25% that they give you for the trade in. You can however use rewards dollars in conjunction if you have some.

It is good for the highchair, as I read it...

I would say yes, but in all honesty it probably depends on the manager. In my store, the managers are the only ones with access to the coupons. I have to call them and have them give the customer the coupon. Some of my managers are really picky and might not allow a "booster" seat. It doesn't hurt to try and really it should be fine. Just some of my managers are PITAs that way

Yes. Any carseat.

last year the computer was set up to accept multiple coupons on one item....a computer glitch. They finally fixed it and it will no longer allow multiple coupons for one item.
