ToysRUS Clinic

Yesterday we held our biggest clinic of the year at ToysRUs. Normally we don't see any reps from the store, but yesterday we removed (with permission) some seat covers before reinstalling the seat. The parent was annoyed that she had just purchased the covers and went into the store to have them refunded.
So out came the Director? I think that was her title, I was trying not to be pulled in 7 directions as I took 5 mins to talk to her. I explained why we don't recommend the seat covers, and a short list of other products and she said if she knows exactly what we don't recommend she can direct the buyer not to purchase them. :D I also mentioned that we would be teaching the full CRST course again here in the late summer/early fall and she said she had 8 employees ready to go!!!

Awesome! I wish they'd get rid of the whole car accessories section!

EXACTLY!!! I wish they would become illegal and be made for swings/bouncers only!!!! I love the bundleme in a swing bouncer! And stroller... So they would still sell!

Wow, I was totally expecting you to say the director came and chewed you out for killing a sale! :eek:

Yeah for her for handling it so well!

I was on Sears.com today and they have a billion car seat accessories, what irritates me is, half of them are made by SKJP, why do they think that's a good idea???!!

They make money off of them, pure and simple :mad:. SKJP will tell you not to use a Mighty Tite when installing a Radian but they will sure sell them to unsuspecting parents. I freaking hate the car seat accessories section of BRU. Kudos to the TRU director for asking questions rather than getting angry.
