Target's Car Seat Trade-in Program

Target’s Car Seat Trade-In Program Returns Sept. 15-28!

Target’s popular car seat trade-in program is returning September 15-28, 2024.

For this limited time, you will be able to turn in an unused or expired car seat at guest services and receive a voucher for 20% off Target Circle Bonus on your next purchase of one car seat, booster seat, stroller, or other select baby home gear at Target stores or online at Target.com.

You must be enrolled in the Target Circle program to take advantage of the offer and you’ll have to redeem that voucher by October 2, 2024.

Why is Target hosting a Car Seat Trade-In Event?

To help save the planet! The car seats you turn in will be recycled by Waste Management which will turn your old seats into things like shopping carts, buckets, and construction materials!

Target has held several recycling programs like this since 2016 and has recycled 2.6 MILLION car seats which equals out to 39 million pounds of waste that DID NOT end up in landfills! Pretty cool.

So, how does the Target Car Seat Trade-In program work??

During the program dates, you can drop off your old car seat at one of the car seat collection boxes near Guests Services at your local participating store. Make sure you’ve already registered with the Target Circle program to save time.

Scan the QR code on the box and then tap “add to Target Circle Bonus.” Your bonus will appear in your wallet in the Target app and can be redeemed TWICE on qualifying purchases.

I recycled my youngest son’s old infant car seat during the last Target Car Seat Trade-in event and it was super easy!

As I said, it’s a pretty simple process and it’s a win-win since you get to save money while doing a small part to save the planet!

We knew we already loved Target, but now we love them even more!
