Toys 'R' Us & Babies 'R' Us Offer Layaway

Retailers Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us are offering parents an in-store layaway program to help them pay for Christmas gifts this year.

The program is designed to help customers pay for the "big gifts." It allows them to make small payments on items like bikes, pools and televisions over time. They are then able to pick up the presents once the payments are complete.

The "Big Gift" Layaway program launches today at Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us stores nationwide. However, it is not available in Maryland.

Customers can use the program on the following products at Toys "R" Us:

  • Bikes
  • Battery-Powered Ride-On Vehicles
  • Dollhouses
  • Play Kitchens
  • Outdoor Play Equipment and Playsets, including metal gym sets, wood gym sets, trampolines, houses, teeter-totters and climbers
  • Pools and Water Slides
  • Preschool Ride-Ons, such as cozy coupes, horses, metal tricycles and wagons
  • Basketball Systems
  • Karaoke Machines
  • Keyboards and other Musical Instruments for toddlers to teens
  • Televisions
  • Indoor Table Games, including air hockey, foosball and table tennis

The program also applies to the following products at Babies "R" Us:

  • Infant and Toddler Furniture
  • Car Seats
  • High Chairs
  • Play Yards
  • Strollers and Travel Systems
  • Bassinets

To take advantage of the program you must make a 20% deposit, including all applicable taxes and a $10 service charge. Payments can then be made at any time at the store by using cash, check, credit card, debit card or gift card.

The final payment is due by December 6 to ensure that the gift is available in time for Christmas. Once the final payment is made, the merchandise will be available within 7-10 days.
