Get ready, parents! Target’s beloved Earth Day car seat trade-in event is back and better than ever! Since 2016, Target has made it a priority to celebrate Earth Day while helping us save some cash. This annual event allows you to exchange your old car seat for a fantastic 20% off coupon that can be used on a variety of baby essentials. And yes, it’s that time of year again!
Mark Your Calendars!
Mark your calendars for April 22 to May 4! Just like previous years, the trade-in lasts for a couple of weeks, giving parents ample time to swap out that old car seat. We all know that sometimes it feels like a multi-day expedition just to accomplish a simple task like this—especially when toddlers are involved.
About the Coupon
Now, about that coupon: You can use it for both in-store and online purchases. So, if you’re feeling particularly cozy in your pajamas, you don’t even have to change to snag those sweet discounts. The 20% off applies to new car seats, car seat bases, travel systems, strollers, and select baby gear such as playards, high chairs, swings, rockers, and bouncers. Talk about options!
What Car Seats Are Accepted?
And fret not about what kind of car seat you have lying around. Target is accepting all types: infant seats, convertible seats, bases, booster seats, and even expired or damaged ones! They partner with Waste Management to recycle the materials, which is a huge win for Mother Earth. Since the program’s inception, Target has recycled over 7.4 million pounds of materials, equivalent to half a million car seats—now that’s impressive!
Check Participation
Check your local Target to confirm they’re participating by visiting their website and entering your zip code. No one wants to haul a heavy car seat only to find out their store isn’t part of the event. Plus, while you’re there saving the planet and stocking up on baby gear, nothing stops you from browsing for a few other must-have items.
Responsible Disposal
Disposing of car seats responsibly can be quite tricky since they usually don’t qualify for curbside recycling. And let’s be honest—most parents will eventually have to part with a used car seat at some point. Thankfully, Target is making it easier for us to do so while being eco-friendly.
In Summary
In summary, this trade-in event is a golden opportunity to keep used car seats out of landfills, all while getting discounts on new baby gear you need. So, gear up for your visit to your favorite store and make some environmentally-friendly choices while you’re at it!
