Toy “R” Us is running a program called the Great Trade-in Event which is similar to the cash for clunkers for cars. You bring in any old Stroller, Car Seat, High Chair, Playard, Bassinets, Crib or travel system and get 20% discount on the new item. The offer is for limited time from August 28, 2009 to September 20, 2009.

The following are the select brands that can be returned during this offer:

Babi Italia, Baby Caché, Baby Trend, Bertini, Britax, Chicco, Contours by Kolcraft, Cosco, Delta, Eddie Bauer, Evenflo, Graco, Jeep, Natures Purest by Summer Infant, Safety 1st, and Sorelle.

This is triggered by two factors, product recalls and the fact that items above may not be the best candidates to be passed on or resold due to safety concerns.
