If your car seat is about to expire, or it's just covered in applesauce stains and Goldfish crumbs, Target has you covered with their 2020 car seat trade-in event.
From Sept. 13 through Sept. 26, parents can drop their old car seat — or base — into designated drop-off boxes inside Target stores. Guests who trade in a car seat or base will be given a coupon for 20% off the purchase of a new car seat, stroller or certain baby gear items.
This year there's a new twist on the popular program for the COVID-19 era: It's going contactless. Customers can drop off their car seat, scan a bar code on the drop box using their Target app, and the coupon will appear in the wallet section of the Target app.

While car seats can only be recycled in-store, the coupons given in return can be used for in-store or online purchases.
It's not recommended to donate or use a car seat that someone else has donated, because you can never tell if a car seat has been in an accident, and it can be dangerous to re-use a car seat that has been in a wreck.
Since the first trade-in event in 2016, Target has recycled more than 14 million pounds of car seats.
