I’m a real stickler when it comes to car seat safety. The one thing you NEVER want to do is buy a used seat or continue using a car seat that has been involved in an accident. Without knowing the car seats true history, you could be putting your child at risk. Looking to upgrade your child’s car seat? If your little one is outgrowing their infant seat or car seat, or perhaps you need an extra car seat, booster seat, etc., now is the time to head out and get your little one a brand new car seat during the Target Car Seat Trade-In event! Once you bring in your used car seat, you’ll receive a 20% off coupon for the purchase of a new one. This post contains an affiliate link.
Target Car Seat Trade-In Event
Did you know that tons of car seats end up in landfills every year? In honor of Earth Month, it’s that time of the year for the Target Car Seat Trade-In Event. Between April 22, 2018 and May 5, 2018 you can bring in any unwanted car seats to your local Target store and receive a coupon for 20 percent off a new car seat, booster seat, car seat base, travel system or stroller. The coupon is valid until May 19, 2018 and can be used in-store or online.
If you already have a Target Red Card, you’ll receive an additional 5% off your purchase. I love the perks my Red Card comes with like getting 5% off everyday purchases, early access to special events, products & promotions, exclusive extras, including special items, offers & 10% off coupon on your REDcard anniversary, free shipping on most items at Target.com, 30 extra days for returns, and you can even stack your 5% REDcard™ savings with Cartwheel and Target Subscriptions savings! If you don’t have a Target Red Card you are missing out, but fret not, you can apply for one here.
Wondering what happens to the old car seats? Target has partnered with Waste Management to recycle the parts to create new things like grocery carts, plastic buckets and construction materials. Since 2016 Target has collected over 176,000 car seats, and diverted over 2.6 million pounds of materials from landfills.
Simply stop by Guest Services to drop off your used car seat and a Target team member will provide you with your 20% off coupon. One used car seat equals one coupon, two car seats equal two coupons, etc. The 20% off coupons can be used to purchase any of the following new items: booster seat, car seat base, car seat (any type), travel system or stroller!

What an amazing thing for Target to do. We were very diligent with car seats with our child. I made my hubby watch videos and read information on how to correctly tether a car set. Then I took it to a car seat safety event.
I will bring this to my daughter’s attention. Better safe than sorry.
I love this so much! I need to trade in my oldest booster seat. Time for a new one so that she is safe in the car.
This is a great event. Thanks for sharing because I am going to tell our grandson’s mom about this!
Sounds like a great program, especially with laws changing so much. Definitely got to keep the kiddos safe.
Thank you for reminding me about this! It’s time for my son to get a convertible car seat so this is super helpful!
Now this is a great deal! Car seats are so important, and having the proper one is essential. Good deal Target.
very interesting,,,im needing a new one,,mine is expired,,and I have a 6 month old grandbaby ,so ive got to get one
What great program! I love that you can do something like this, as most places will not even accept used car seats. I have had to throw mine away in the past. Thanks for sharing!
Need a new car seat
This is such a great program! I will be sharing this with family and friends.
Awesome! I wasn’t aware of this program. Thanks for posting!
That is a great program. Did you know that 40 years ago child seats were not required?
This is a great idea! I wish they had this 25 years ago, would have been less stressful!
Thanks to target for this great program. Parents appreciate it.
This is a great program. I am glad to see Target doing this. Kids outgrow car seats rather fast or they might not function well. This could save lives.
Nice idea to recycle and save
This is such a great program! I wished it would have been around when my kids were little! As a matter of fact, there wasn’t anything in place! When I found out how car seats saved lives, I thanked the Good Lord that my children made it without car seats and then I thanked Him that the other two wore seat belts when they were in a car accident when they were older!! Children are precious gifts from God and I couldn’t imagine my life without them! I know other moms feel the same way. In my opinion, you can’t put a price on safety! Safety should come first! Then these good habits will stick with them through their lives!
