Great news for parents and eco-conscious shoppers: Target’s semi-annual Car Seat Trade-In Event has returned! From September 21 to October 4, 2025, you can trade in your old, expired, or damaged car seat and receive a 20% off Target Circle™ Bonus toward a new car seat, stroller, travel system, or select baby gear. This limited-time offer is available at participating Target stores nationwide.
