National Baby Safety Month: Target Popular Car Seat Trade-In Program Is Back

Have an old car seat lying around? Whether it’s too small for your growing tot, too old or simply time for a new model, Target will gladly take it off your hands… again!

In April 2017, Target held the first Car Seat Trade-In program during Earth Month, which was a huge success. Target recycled nearly 80,000 car seats, which equaled more than one million pounds.

Committed to ensure that kids and babies have the right car seats that meet current safety standards, Target is teaming up with TerraCycle to recycle your used car seats.

From Sept. 10 – 23, most Target stores (excluding small-format stores) will accept car seats to be recycled. In turn, guests will receive a 20 percent off coupon, good for the purchase of a new car seat, including booster seats, car seat bases and travel systems.

"After collecting more than a million pounds of car seat material to be recycled from the program in April, we’re excited to be bringing this amazing program back," said Michelle Wlazlo, senior vice president of apparel and accessories at Target. "We’re always looking for ways to make the lives of our guests easier and we’re proud to be able to help them reduce household clutter in a responsible and environmentally-friendly way."

Target’s car seat trade-in event runs from Sept. 10 – 23 at Target stores, excluding small-format stores, nationwide. Guests will have until Oct. 7 to redeem their 20 percent off coupon in stores or online here.
