As a mother of three, most of our baby gear has been passed down from oldest to youngest. Baby gear can be expensive to buy for each child so why not continue to use it or maybe pass it on to a friend or even sell it online to other parents looking to cut down on costs.
It seems not all gear is should be passed down or sold off due to safety issues.
Toys R Us Canada launched their Great Trade-In event this past June as a way of encouraging parents to remove old or unsafe baby products from their homes. The program was so successful, generating over 3,600 returns of unwanted and used baby products across Canada, that Toys R Us has relaunched the program again.
From August 13 until August 29, qualified used and unwanted baby products can be brought to any Toys R Us or Babies R Us locations across Canada in exchange for 20% discount on a new item from the return list, excluding walkers, from participating manufacturers. The qualifying items that can be returned are playyards, high chairs, bassinets, excercisers, swings and walkers as well as cribs, car seats, strollers and travel systems. Participating manufacturers include Babi Italia, Baby Trend, Billy, Britax, Chanderic, Chicco, Combi, Cosco, Delta, Eddie Bauer, Evenflo, First Years, Fisher-Price, Graco, Kids II, Maxi-Cosi, Quinny, Safety 1st, Lux and Summer Infant.
Toys R Us will ensure that all turned in products are destroyed and disposed of responsibly.
