Buckle Up: Target’s Car Seat Trade-In Event Starts Soon
It's spring cleaning time. Bring your used car seat to Target and receive 20 percent off any car seat in stores or online.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — It’s spring cleaning time—is your old car seat on the toss list? Maybe your little one’s outgrown it, or perhaps you want an upgrade. Whatever the case, Minneapolis-based Target wants to make a trade. April 17–30, bring your used car seat to any Target store and trade it in for a coupon for 20 percent off any car seat in stores or at Target.com, good through May 31.
What happens to all those car seats collected? They're teaming up TerraCycle to make sure they get recycled, or upcycled into new products. Through the partnership, Target expects to keep more than 700,000 pounds of car seat materials out of landfills.
“In honor of Earth Month, we wanted to make it easy for guests to do something positive for the planet and their communities,” Jennifer Silberman, chief sustainability officer, Target, said in a statement.
