Many families have an old or damaged car seat sitting in the garage or basement. And now’s the time to put it to good use. Target is helping parents and the environment at the same time, thanks to its popular Car Seat Trade-In Event. Since the program’s inception in 2016, Target has recycled more than two million car seats.

In turn, all of those seats have equaled more than 39 million pounds of materials being recycled.
Have an old, expired or damaged car seat? Bring it to Target during its Car Seat Trade-In Event from September 15 to 28, 2024.
Car seats can only be traded in-store at Target. Look for drop-off boxes located near Guest Services.
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 expired or damaged car seats.
For your efforts, Target will give you a coupon for 20% off a new car seat, car seat base, travel system, stroller or select baby home gear.
Select baby home gear includes playards, high chairs, swings, rockers, bouncers, walkers, entertainers and jumpers.

Signs placed near the drop-off boxes allow you to scan the coupon from your smartphone for use in your Target Circle account. The coupon is redeemable twice and valid through October 12, 2024. Even better, the coupon can be combined with other item offers.
With the exception of select small format stores, all Target locations are participating in the recycling program. Contact your local store for more information.
