Target’s popular car seat trade-in program is back and there are more fantastic finds to save on than every before!

Now through September 28, the retail giant is accepting old car seats, including infant seats, convertible seats, car seat bases, harness or booster car seats and car seats that are expired or damaged. Materials from the old car seats will be recycled by Target’s partner, Waste Management.

In order to trade in their car seat, parents must be enrolled in Target Circle. Then, all you have to do is head to your local Target store, drop it off at one of the boxes located near Guest Services and scan the QR code into the Circle app using your cellphone.

Anyone who trades in their old car seat will be given a 20 percent off coupon to use towards a new car seat, car seat base, travel system, stroller or select baby home gear, including wagons, playards, high chairs, swings and more. This coupon can be applied twice to both in-store and online purchases until October 12.

The best part? Your 20 percent off coupon can be stacked with other discounts and sales, enabling parents to score up to 45 percent off items for the next stage in your kiddo’s life. Here are just a few on-sale fan-favorite items you can stack your 20 percent coupon with to get big savings.
