The Great Trade-In Car Seat Event is happening now at your local Babies”R”Us or Toys”R”Us store. Haven’t heard of this event? Well, it’s going on now through October 2nd. It comes around at least twice a year and is a great way to save on a new car seat.
So, how does this work? Well, you take your used car seat to your “R”Us store and in exchange for your trade in they give you a coupon that’s 25% off your purchase of a participating new car seat. If you use your “R”Us credit card they give you 30% off instead of just 25%.
Don’t have a car seat to trade in…no worries…just go to The Great Trade-In Car Seat Event Website and get your coupon worth 15% off. You also have the option to use the 15% discount online using promo code SEP15OFF at checkout.
A couple things to keep in mind about your trade in: your used car seat didn’t have to be purchased at “R” Us and a receipt is not required. If you have multiple used car seats, you are more than welcome to bring those in for one 25% off discount for each car seat traded in. However, you can only use one coupon per new car seat purchased.
The trade-in event and 15% off discount do not apply to: Baby Jogger, Maxi-Cosi, Peg Perego, Cybex, clearance and red hot deal items. These discounts cannot be combined with any other offers or promotions.
So, what happens to all those used car seats? All car seats brought to “R”Us for the trade in event will be disposed of properly so they can’t be put in circulation again.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), used car seats may look fine but could be missing labels or parts and if the seat is past the manufacturer’s expiration date, its safety could be compromised. NHTSA also recommends replacing car seats after a vehicle accident.
Happy Shopping!
