Now is a good time to check your child's car seat.

Twice a year, Target let's you bring in an old, expired, or damaged car seat and in exchange, you can receive a 20% off coupon for another car seat, stroller, or other baby gear.

Target partners with Waste management to recycle the material from the used car seats. According to Target.com, the trade-in program started in 2016. Since then, more than 1.7 million car seats have been recycled.

The program runs between Monday, April 18, 2022 - Saturday, April 30, 2022.?

Target will have drop-off boxes for the unwanted car seats located near Guest Services.

• You can find out of your car seat has been recalled by calling the manufacturer or the National Highway traffic Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236.
