Question about car seat deals...

you know when they offer the bring in a seat and get 20% off a new one??

Do you think I could bring in just the shell and get the discount? I am wondering because I have that booster in my shed that I refuse to throw out because I am afraid someone will try and rescue it from the trash. But I know someone who will need a new car seat and does not have a lot of money. I would love to be able to give it to her or even take her to buy a new one and use it.

What do you think?

There are also members who will scavenge garage sales for car seats and talk the owner down (expired, missing parts, etc) and then will take that $5 garage sale deal and bring it into the sale. Sure, you've spent $5, but you are still saving 20% off a brand new seat.

:whistle: I've been known to do this :whistle: Gets a nasty seat off the road and gives the potential for a new one. The last two BRU trade ins, I've given away my coupon to someone in the store because I didn't *need* it. I think the trade in events are great since they do get a lot of expired and recalled seats out of rotation.

Do they accept boosters for the trade in?

Yep. :thumbsup:

ETA: From an old email about the BRU Trade In, they allow you to turn in the following for a coupon:

Car seat
Stroller
Travel Systems
High Chair
Play yard
Bassinet
Crib
Toddler Bed

I'd imagine that car seat means any type of car seat. Same with stroller -- a big fancy one, or an umbrella stroller.

Thanks and great tip about the yard sales.. I saw an ANCIENT one the other day at a flea market but was just driving by and could not stop..

And just when would the next great trade event be? I have a rescued evenflo something or other just waiting in the shed.

OT I played with it and really is cool. Has this button this that allowed for different recline while still on a base. Well you know I am easily amused.

I just called BRU and they said they don't have the date picked, however, they will probably do it around the same time as this year, so she was thinking between February and March. :thumbsup:

See this is the new problem, LOL. I have a Century Breverra Sport that was in good condition (but expired) when I took it from my mom's basement. Now it's getting all gross and dirty in the shed because I might want to trade it in. If it wasn't for BRU, it would have been trashed long ago, but no, now I have a nasty seat :rolleyes:.
