The Target Car Seat Trade-In Event is Back

Trade in your old car seats for discounts on new baby gear.

Just in time for Spring cleaning, Target’s semi-annual Car Seat Trade-In program is back!

 From Monday, April 5 to Saturday, April 17, you can head to your local Target store to trade in your old car seats and receive a 20% off coupon for a new seat, stroller or select baby gear when you trade in your old car seat with Target Circle.

 Car seats will be recycled by Target’s partner, Waste Management, and transformed into new products such as pallets, plastic buckets and construction materials such as carpet padding.

 Target’s Car Seat Trade In program began in April 2016, and since then, has recycled more than 1.1 million car seats, or more than 17 million pounds of plastic and counting.

Coupons can be used in store or online and will be redeemable through May 1st. To find a participating store, head to Target.com.
