And it does cause many to crack down on not allowing things like taking a car seat off display and outside so that you can test it in your vehicle. Just speaking from the perspective of someone who worked retail for many years.</p> <p>But as far as an actual solution to your problem goes, why don't you just ask BRU to price match Albee baby? Then you can test it out and return it if it doesn't fit. They match online prices on baby gear, including car seats: <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=11949070" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=11949070</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-949425 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 07:08:10 +0000 pl0508 949425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: safety 1st complete air ! </p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: they did say we could purchase and return ! Problem is I found it cheaper on Albee baby so I really just wanted to test the fit ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-949423 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 07:05:03 +0000 creativemomma15 949423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That stinks! I remember them telling us we could take strollers out to see if they fit but I do don't remember what they said about car seats. What if you ask a manager/leave your liscense or see if someone watches you so you "cant steal it"?</p> <p>Also, @T.H.O.U. and @coacheswife123: We bought a convertible through them online, put it in our car, tags still on, and didn't like it so we returned it no problem. Maybe you could do that? But it is still extra steps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-949357 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 05:54:41 +0000 T.H.O.U. 949357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: just curious. What is the BRU return policy on sears? Would they rather you buy the seat and open the box just to try it out? I think it's still considered unused and new so they would have to take the return even with a receipt. I think breast pumps are the only thing you can't open the box but they have a seal on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-949212 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 23:13:02 +0000 wheres_c 949212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really? Weird! Buy buy baby let us! Which carseat are you looking at? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-949026 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:29:45 +0000 pinkb 949026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would complain to the Manager or even corporate. But I have a feeling they would do the same at our store, they are not the best at customer service. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-949018 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:26:47 +0000 runsyellowlites 949018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd definitely complain too! That really stinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-949001 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:15:53 +0000 cmomma17 949001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: boo! I'd complain to a regional manager. I'm sure they'd want your patronage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-948993 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:10:53 +0000 allison 948993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: That's really ridiculous. You should call HQ and complain. They let me try one out in Asheville, no problem! An employee brought it out to the car for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-948990 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:08:32 +0000 pl0508 948990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: they LAUGHED when I asked !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-948988 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:06:28 +0000 avivoca 948988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They did at ours.

We had to leave a drivers license at the counter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-948786 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:46:18 +0000 Ginabean3 948786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lame! Is there a Buy Buy Baby around you? I have always found them to be a lot nicer and more accommodating than BRU. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-948752 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:32:52 +0000 Smurfette 948752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummer!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bru-im-so-mad#post-948738 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:26:35 +0000 pl0508 948738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always hear they would let you try a carseat in your car for fit and they just told me no :( :( :( </p>
