It’s that time of year again! Well, almost time… for the Target Car Seat Trade In Event! We’ve been waiting for this moment to recycle our old car seats right here in St. Louis. Now is also the time to get prepared with everything that you need to know before the event starts!

What To Know Before Target Car Seat Trade In Event
We have more than a few old car seats up in the rafters of our garage and now is the time to get those recycled. I’ll be attending in St. Louis, but Target stores all over the country will be participating in this event.
So far Target has recycled 22.2 million lbs. of car seats. The old car seat materials are recycled to create brand new products like pallets, plastic buckets and construction materials. Even steel beams and carpet padding!

What Is The Target Car Seat Trade In Event?
This event is a great one! Take in an old car seat (this includes infant car seats, convertible car seats, car seat bases, harness or booster car seats and expired or damaged car seats) to be recycled and get a 20% off coupon for a new car seat, stroller or select baby gear. Select baby home gear includes high chairs, swings, playards, rockers and bouncers.
The 20% off coupon can be redeemed in store or online. It can be combined with other item offers and is redeemable twice.
Must sign up for the Target Circle app to receive coupon.
