Why? What do you mean? Not all things you can get at a discount?

honestly i dont see the point of it. To give away something you paid full price for, just for a 25% discount. You are better off trying to sell it on your own and just use a 20% off coupon that they are always giving out for something new

No- if you look at the small print it lists specific manufacturers that participate.

I agree! Unless it's a piece of junk that you just can't sell, or something you found on the side of the road Chat Icon

I traded in my 6-year old, expired Britax Marathon car seat for 25% of brand new one. Much better than sitting at the curb for trash and I save 25% off a new one.

Britax isn't participating this time. So disappointing!! I wanted to get the b-agile. City mini isn't participating either. It's only baby trend, evenflo, graco, safety first and chicco.

Ugh, thanks for the heads up! Was just about to run down and trade in DD's Britax Marathon for a 5-pt harness.

AGREED!
That's why I ordered my new double stroller AND 5pt booster from Amazon! Much cheaper, free shipping....BRU lost my business!

Re: Babies r us trade in sale is such a scam!!!

When they first started doing it, it included a lot more brands... I got my sons car seat for 115$ with the 25% off and a 20% off coupon. They stopped accepting other coupons after the first year. And now I notice every year there are less brands...

I agree!!!!

They SUCK big time. Their coupons exclude EVERYTHING...I just toss them when I get them.

I much prefer to order online.

Hahaa I was gonna start a spin-off post about this! Their 20% off coupons exclude everything!! And if you read the small print on the Toys R Us 20% off coupons, it says "excludes all toys"! What??

I agree and those 20% off coupon stress "any" item meanwhile nearly everything is excluded.

I'm so bummed that Britax isn't participating this time, I really need to get a convertible for ds#2. I was able to use it or ds#1 two years ago. I thought for sure you could because we were there this weekend and every Britax they had was sold out, I thought it was due to the trade in... I guess not.

I agree 100%... When they told me how the promotion worked, I said no thank you...

Well, it IS worth it if you plan on buying something that is included!

I have an expired car seat and one that was a hand me down - I will trade in both and get a new Graco infant car seat and base. Worth it for me! Chat Icon
