Target's annual car seat trade-in event is back through Oct. 3 for parents looking to get rid of old or outgrown car seats.
Anyone can trade in a car seat at participating Target locations and receive a 20% Target Circle bonus to use on new baby supplies. The car seats will then be recycled and transformed into Target-brand home decor items.
According to a Target fact sheet released Sept. 9, the company has recycled more than 3.8 million car seats since launching the program in 2016, recovering more than 63.7 million pounds of material for use in new products.
