Our family visited Toys R Us on La Cienaga today armed with my 20% coupon that came in the mail to get our little bean a Buggy and a Swing Along Castle. Since the weather has been so nice, I felt that little bean should go out and play. I am sad to report that none of the items we wanted to get were in stock. Maybe they haven’t received any shipment since Christmas? Or maybe the recession is over.

Toys R Us has Return and Exchange policy lets you return or exchange items within 90 days. (for Online purchases it’s 30 day return policy) This is extremely unreasonable for a new parent. I received bunch of diapers and baby bottle accessories such as replacement nipples at my baby shower, which I had about a month and a half before the due date. My little bean ignored the due date and was born two weeks after. By the time I knew how much my baby bean weighed I only had one month to figure out when my little one would grow out of the newborn size diaper.

By the time I was ready to exchange unopened newborn diapers and first stage bottle accessories for more appropriate sizes because my little one out grew them so fast, toys r us refused to even exchange the item for a bigger size for me. It created so much waste and now I am stuck with unopened unused baby items that I cannot use!

Toys r us should have better exchange policy for newborn items letting you at least exchange items for bigger size for unopened items.

If anyone is planning to create a registry do not create one at Toys R us, you might be stuck with boxes of unused baby items.
