Exchange Your Old Car Seat for a Coupon for a New One at Target
Did you know that car seats have an expiration date? Yes, this ship carrying your most valuable cargo may no longer be the safest option, so it’s important to do some inspection. The expiration date can be found on the seat itself or in the owner’s manual, or you can call the manufacturer. The average service life of a car seat is six years.
If you find yourself holding onto a car seat that has expired, or if your child has outgrown the seat and you no longer need it, do not throw away the old item. Instead, from April 22 to May 5, you can bring an unwanted car seat to any destination and exchange it for a 20% discount coupon for a new car seat or stroller. Target will donate the used seats to Waste Management, which recycles the parts so they don’t end up in landfills.
When you get to the store, go to the change box located next to the Guest Services and a staff member will give you your coupon, which you can use in the store or online until May 19th. It can fit one car seat, booster. seat, car seat base, travel system or stroller. (Maybe you want a sturdy jogger or stroller that folds into a shoulder bag and weighs a measly 9.5 pounds ?) The exchange happens once a year, so if you have a car seat you need to buy one. to get rid of it, this might be a good opportunity to retrieve it from the repository and find something that can actually be used.
