Toys R US Canada

This continues to be out go to location for most things that are toys related.
They offer air miles which is a bonus.
As a general rule I won’t buy anything here unless it’s on sale. You can routinely find the same items elsewhere for 20−35% less even not on sale.
That being said, this is my preferred location.
Every month or so they do Saturday toy/​craft activities for free that the kiddos can take home. (I’m currently standing in a 100 person long line for free Star Wars Lego Day! The kids get to make and take home an X-​Wing fighter!)
And while I’m standing in line for an hour, I’m sure Daddy and the kids are running amok and filling up the shopping cart!
Oh, to be a Toys R Us kid again!

I have to write this review if only for the great customer service I received not only from a floor staff member at the Babys r Us section, but also the cashier upon checkout! They were both pleasant, friendly and outstanding!
The Babys R Us section was clean, and for the most part well stocked. The item I came looking for was out of stock in the color I wanted, but no biggie. It was suggested by the floor attendant that they could order the item for me and have it delivered for free (vs. ordering online and having to pay for shipping). But it wasn’t a deal breaker for me. I ended up buying the item and would definitely come back if my future needs brought me back here again!

After shopping around at a few different places, including west coast kids, buy buy baby and Sears, we ended up back at babies r us where we started. They simply have the best staff. I couldn’t get much for in depth car seat information at buy buy baby or Sears, and I did not enjoy the registry process at buy buy baby AT ALL. They watched everything I scanned from their computer, criticized what I didn’t scan, made an issue of me not scanning a breastpump, made me a little uncomfortable. They did have a good selection if a little pricey on some things. I went back to babies r us and did my registry there. They did not spy on what I scanned, gave me room but stayed available. They did not comment on my choices, and the process was much faster. I had questions about car seats and discovered their staff are certified car seat experts. Thank you thank you thank you to the young woman who helped me make my decision easier! She knew about every seat I had questions about. I left feeling a lot less stressed. The store has also been renovated recently and is much more customer friendly.

It’s almost Christmas and I went on a Saturday that happened to be black Friday weekend so I was expecting the craziness. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the place was still very clean and easy to manage despite how busy it was. Some of the shelves were looking bare and products were down to the last few but overall I was able to find presents for all 5 of my kids easily. When I had questions it was easy to find someone to ask. once I got to the tills it was very busy but the lines were moving at a decent speed and almost all the tills were operating. I was pleasantly surprised with how painless and fast I was able to get in and out and find everything I needed.

Since I don’t have kids, I can probably count on one hand how many times a year I go to this location. Having said that, this is THE place to purchase gifts for other people’s children.
I’ve always been pretty happy with the selection, they’ve got all the big names and just about anything a child could want. They always have the latest fads, but I really like all the inexpensive little items. If I had kids to buy stocking stuffers for, this would be a one-​stop shop.
Here’s a tip – Now, at the end of October is a good time to shop. I read somewhere they drop their prices before October ends to make way for the Black Friday/​Christmas stuff. It really does seem to be cheaper right around now.
Also, it’s perfectly economical to buy two or three days BEFORE Black Friday. The deals are still there, either because they’re trying to shed stuff or because the new prices are there ahead of time – I don’t know. Experience has taught me it’s a perfectly nice QUIET time to go.
And by that time they have a nice big Santa’s Anonymous bin set up.

DO NOT USE THIS STORE’S BABY REGISTRY. We registered here thinking they would be a business that knows how to run a baby registry since they have a whole area called Babies R Us. Some friends ordered presents online which the store sent to us in one big order via Purolator. We were not home to sign for the package at the time Purolator tried to deliver but we spoke to the delivery person on the intercom. It was Friday. He said we could pick the package up at the Purolator office on Monday. The package slip said we had 5 days after Monday to pick it up. We went to get it Weds and they had already sent it back to Babies R Us. That may have been their mistake but Babies R Us made it worse. They automatically refunded the gifts without trying to resend or contact us and the registry does not allow us to see who sent the gifts, so we can’t let them know what happened. Basically, we can’t get our package because Purolator messed up and Babies R Us has no idea how to run their registry effectively. Unless our friends reorder the gifts, we will not get them. Thanks Babies R Us. Great job.

Every time my wife and I go here the service is dog slow and seems like the people don’t care at all. Time to hire a damn manager to clean this dump up.

This is the store we’ve been frequenting most often for our baby needs. It’s well organized and the staff who have assisted us have been friendly and helpful. I love toy stores (my husband and I are both toy junkies), so I will never say no to a stop in here. Prices can be a little higher than stores like Walmart, buts being able to find almost anything you need without having to make trips to multiple stores makes it acceptable. We plan to purchase our stroller and car seat here, as they seem to be the only store in the city to stock the one we want, and I haven’t been able to find it online (except used, and this is one thing I refuse to buy second hand).

I’m not a frequent shopper to this store since I don’t really have a reason to be buying many toys. But with a new baby in the family, I was happy to check out the selection of toys for under a year old. I couldn’t resist but to buy a few toys I would classify as retro classics. Who didn’t have the block shapes that you have to line up to put into the holes? Or how about the ring set that look like different shaped donuts? The great thing was the prices, as both were on sale. I also liked they have a variety of toys as compared to department stores and they do have sales. If toys aren’t on sale, they can be more than other stores. But I’ll be back for the selection. Who can resist testing toys that light up and speak to you?

I LOVE Toys «R» Us– The largest selection of kids toys, games, and electronics for children of all ages! Also Babys «R» Us! Cribs, bottle and strollers.
