Target Car Seat Trade-In 2023
For your information, What to Expect may earn commissions from shopping links included on this page. All sales and prices are accurate at the time of publishing. Why trust our product recommendations?
Mark your calendar because the first Target car seat trade-in of 2023 is happening April 16 to April 29. During this time, you can walk into your local Target store and walk away with a 20 percent off coupon.
The annual event happens nationwide at all Target stores, excluding small format locations. That said, you should double-check if your local store is participating on the Target website before you go.
And there’s one more catch: To join, you’ll need to be enrolled Target Circle (which you can join for free) to receive your coupon.
According to Target’s website, you can exchange any type of car seat during the event, including expired or damaged models. The material from your old car seat will be recycled to make new metal and plastic products, making it an eco-friendly way to get rid of seats that are no longer safe to use. The program, launched in 2016, has helped recycle more than 2.19 million car seats to date.
Below, you will find everything you need to know about annual event.
How to participate in Target’s car seat trade-in event
It’s easy to participate in Target’s car seat trade-in event:
- Between April 16 and April 29, head to your local Target store and bring your old car seat to the designated box inside.
- Open your Target app and scan the code on the box.
- Then, find the offer in the Baby category.
- Click the “+” sign to save the coupon to use it for an order online or scan your barcode at the register to use it in person.
These coupons can be redeemed toward a new car seat, booster seat or stroller, as well as select baby home items including playards, high chairs, bouncers and more.
