^^^ or maybe they could keep it at their house for your little when they visit
My MIL gave us a walker last year without asking me and I accepted and gave away first thing 😂
Lol I don't wanna waste their money 😭 so I'll see if target will accept it and if not ask for the receipt maybe
Suggest keeping it at their house for when you guys are over, that’s what we do !
We live 5h away so he'd only be using it maybe 3-4 times 😢
The upside about asking for a receipt is that they will be more mindful with future gifts (hopefully)!! So might be good to ask for a receipt. Just be super sweet about it 😅
Yeah they asked us what we wanted for him and we told them and we picked it out together, they said they'd add some small gifts but I didn't expect them to get another big gift 😞 I feel so guilty!
I would be honest with them and just tell them I already have one, I don't want this to go to waste so if you have the receipt we can return it and buy something we need instead.....also agree that they are not safe or good for walking development. My in-laws texted my husband earlier showing the gift they wanted for our 4yo, a massive foosball table, we were glad they asked first as this is too big and too advanced for our son. Maybe tell your in-laws to check with you first next time too.
I agree with the others I would tell them you already have a walker and that way they can exchange it for something else. I wouldn't give it away because if they come to visit and don't see it that may offend them more x
Tell them that one is for their house bc u already have one for ur place. Or ask for the receipt
Donate, so many kids don't have parents who can buy them gifts
Scan the barcode in the app for target/walmart/etc. if it comes up then it’s sold in that store. I hated wasting time after my baby shower trying to return/exchanging stuff.
No harm in being honest im sure they would rather their grandchild have something they would use another option is also give away/sell/ donate the other walker and keep the one they bought
If you’re in the UK you can often return things without a receipt, they won’t refund you the money but will let you exchange for another toy or give you a gift voucher to spend at a later date x

Id look up the target return policy. But yeah, in general if you don't want any particular type of toy for a reason, just go ahead and say something. ( We got a walker secondhand from friends in June at his second.... First birthday party.... He hasn't push it upright at all until November 17th... And he doesn't even push it all the time now.... He prefers cruising and crawling, and building his strength through other things ( like climbing, actually.... He loves to climb )......). So at almost 18 months ... He's not walking unassisted yet. But that definitely feels like a yet. Some push walkers have plenty of activities on the front so you could always prop it against something and have it as an activity center rather than have it be obviously a walker. And encourage lots of floor time
If you explain it was a gift, most places will give u a gift card for it even without a receipt
If you go to their house often, keep the one you got free at theirs to use and let your baby use the one they bought? I know what you mean though, it's a difficult situation as you don't want to sound ungrateful or rude but at the same time you know the money could be put to better use! Maybe just say you got one for free so would they be happy to let you exchange for something else
If you already have one just explain that and hopefully they’ll offer to give you the receipt. I think if they got it at target you don’t need the receipt for exchange. If they got it there you might not need to say anything and just exchange it! 🤞🏻
