Toys “R” Us has come up with its own cash for clunkers national program. Today the store announced that shoppers can now bring in used baby items and receive a discount off of the purchase of a new item. Toys “R” Us wants to help parents purchase new cribs, car seats and other items instead of having to search for deals at garage sales or Craigs List.

“The Great Trade-In” is the coined phrase for the event and Toys “R” Us is hoping this will help to get some of those potentially unsafe toys out of the hands of parents and kids. The stores will accept returns of used cribs, car seats, bassinets, strollers, travel systems, play yards and high chairs in exchange for 20 percent off a new item.

According to Toys “R” Us, consumer safety agencies have noticed how it continues to be a challenge to remove dangerous products from the home. Safe Kids USA recommends not purchasing used car seats and other safety items for children. There are several manufacturers participating in the event, including  Baby Cache, Baby Trend, Evenflo and Graco.

The promotion begins Aug. 28 and continues until Sept. 20.
