What is the Target Car Seat Trade-in Event?

Target was the first retailer to start the car seat trade-in trend back in 2016, and lucky for Target shoppers – when you bring in an old or expired car seat to Guest Services during set dates, you’ll receive a 20% OFF coupon to redeem on a future purchase of a new car seat, stroller or other select baby gear.

Since the program launched, Target has recycled over 1.97 million car seats and over 29.6 million pounds of car seat materials!

Here are a few more easy ways to score even more baby goodies!

    My little granddaughter needs a new car seat, but she’s 2 1/2. is this deal for toddler seats too?

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Hey Lisa! I found this in the FAQ for you on the options available for trade-in – “Target will accept and recycle all types of car seats, including: infant car seats, convertible car seats, car seat bases, harness or booster car seats, as well as car seats that are expired or damaged.” Hoping that’s helpful! ❤️
