Got any toys that contain led, or may have been on a recall list? Head on over to Toys R Us this weekend as they are having a Trade In event. The Great-Trade-In allows parents and caregivers to trade in potentially unsafe old and

second-hand baby products in exchange for a savings on select, new items.
Last year there were over 50 toy recalls and this doesn’t even cover items for babies or clothes, which Toys R Us is taking too. So, if you have any of those items, go and get a refund on it, store discount and buy some new items. This sounds like the perfect opportunity to get those fresh new toys for Spring, day care homes or even those items you couldn’t afford during the holidays.
The “Great Trade-In” event begins Friday, January 29 and continues through Saturday, February 20 in Babies”R”Us and Toys”R”Us locations nationwide. During this time, stores will accept returns of any used cribs, car seats, bassinets, strollers, travel systems, play yards, high chairs and toddler beds in exchange for a 25% savings on the purchase of any new baby item, in any of these product categories, from select manufacturers.
Toys R Us even sent me an email with a list of ideas of items they are looking for so here it is:
· Car seats can sustain damage in an accident that may not be visible to the naked eye, but could prevent the seat from functioning properly;
· Car seats have expiration dates, as the materials can deteriorate over time, potentially making the car seat less effective in a crash. Parents can check with the car seat manufacturer to determine the recommended period of use for a particular car seat;
· Certain baby products, particularly car seats, are regularly introduced with new innovations in technology that can improve the products’ safety efficacy;
· Products made of or that contain certain materials, like wood and plastic, can deteriorate when exposed to extreme weather conditions, like heat, potentially compromising safety integrity; and
· Parts or instruction books for proper assembly, installation or use may be missing.Brands participating in the “Great Trade-In” event include Babi Italia, Baby Cache, Baby Trend, Bergamo, Bertini, Britax, Carter’s, Chicco, Contours by Kolcraft, Cosco, Delta, Eddie Bauer, Evenflo, Graco, Jeep, Little Tikes, Safety 1st, Sorelle and Step2. Customers can save 25% on a new purchase, from any of the specified product categories and from any of the aforementioned manufacturers, in Babies“R”Us and Toys“R”Us stores nationwide on the day they trade in their used item.
