Toys"R"Us Introduces ‘Big Gift' Layaway
To help you purchase that “big gift” – and pay over time – this holiday season, today we announced the introduction of in-store layaway. Through this program, you can now reserve toys, such as bikes and play kitchens, early in the season and make a series of small payments over an extended period. In addition, expectant parents and their families can benefit by using layaway to purchase items such as cribs, car seats and strollers.
The “Big Gift” layaway is available beginning today in Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us stores nationwide*.

For family and friends shopping for new and expectant parents this holiday season, Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us stores now offer layaway on a wide selection of items for babies.

Placing a product on layaway at any of our stores requires a deposit of 20% of the total purchase, including all applicable taxes, and a $10 service charge. Payments may be made at the store at any time in the form of cash, check, credit card, debit card or gift card. Merchandise will be made available within 7-10 days of final payment, so items must be paid for in full by December 6 to ensure that the gift is available for pickup before Christmas. A fee will apply to canceled layaway orders**.
*The program will not be available in Maryland at this time. **Ohio and Rhode Island have different policies for canceled orders. See stores for details.
Is this layaway only good for Christmas time.or is this a permanent thing
Not Sure - The people at the store were a bit confused themselves about it - several people were saying that they didn't do it - but they eventually found someone that knew about the promotion. The guy who rang up my Lay-A-Way for the Wii - said that this has been a problem because they keep changing the rules as to what is and what is NOT available. So No One really knows what is going on!
