Target's car seat trade-in program for 2025 has two main time frames annually: a spring event and a fall event.

• The spring 2025 trade-in event ran from Sunday, April 27 through Saturday, May 10. During this period, customers could bring old car seats to participating Target stores to get a 20% off coupon via the Target Circle program for a new car seat. This coupon was valid until May 24 and reusable twice.

• The next expected fall 2025 trade-in event is likely to start on Sunday, September 14, and run through Saturday, September 27, 2025. This event is anticipated to coincide with Child Passenger Safety Week in the third week of September.

Target accepts any type of car seat, including infant seats, convertible seats, booster seats, and bases, and they recycle the old seats into new products. Customers who trade in seats get significant savings on new models meeting the latest safety standards.

So, the upcoming Target car seat trade-in in 2025 is expected to be mid- September for about two weeks.
