Toys ‘R’ Us will exchange unsafe toys

Wayne, N.J. – The “Island of Misfit Toys” from the legendary Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer holiday special has nothing on Toys “R” Us. This is the 10th iteration of the Great Trade-In event Toys “R” Us is hosting that lets customers exchange potentially unsafe, old and second-hand cribs, high chairs, car seats, strollers and other items in exchange for savings on a new item.



The event begins Friday, Jan. 23 and continues through Saturday, Feb. 21 at Babies “R” Us and Toys “R” Us stores across the country. Over the duration of the Great Trade-In event, stores will accept any used cribs, car seats, bassinets, strollers, high chairs, infant swings, bouncers, travel systems, walkers, entertainers and play yards, in exchange for 25% savings on the purchase of a new baby item, in any of these product categories.



There is no limit to the number of items a customer can trade in*. In addition, consumers who do not have items to trade in will receive 15% off a new gear or furniture item with an in-store only coupon available online. Customers are encouraged to engage in the conversation on social media using #BRUGreatTradeIn.



"The Great Trade-In was conceived to bring attention to the dangers associated with potentially unsafe used items in circulation, and we're proud this program has to-date helped remove more than 1 million items from the marketplace," said Hank Mullany, president, Toys “R” Us, U.S. "One of our most important responsibilities as a company is to help parents keep kids safe, and we look forward to once again hosting this popular event in our stores to encourage families to turn in old products in exchange for new ones in-line with today's safety standards."
