Spring cleaning? We know your time is precious — but if you’re tackling those overflowing closets, don’t skip the car seat corner. Target’s Car Seat Trade-In Event is back, and it’s the perfect chance to clear out those old, expired, or outgrown car seats without adding to the landfill.
Target’s Car Seat Trade-In Event
When: Sunday, April 27 – Saturday, May 10, 2025
Where: Any Target store (find your closest location on their site)
Here’s how it works (and yes, it’s quick and easy):
- Bring your old car seat or base to the drop-off box near Guest Services
- Use your phone to scan the QR code on the box
- Tap “Add to Target Circle Bonus”
- Boom — get a 20% off coupon toward a new car seat or other baby gear, right in your Target app
Bonus: You can use that 20% off twice before it expires on May 24!
Instead of tossing your car seat into the trash, you’re helping turn it into something useful — like plastic buckets, construction materials, or even storage products. Since this program launched, nearly 50 million pounds of car seat material have been recycled. Last year alone? Almost 440,000 car seats!
