St. Louis, MO, September 21, 2026 —
Target is offering a Car Seat Trade-In program in the St. Louis area, allowing residents to recycle used car seats and receive savings on new baby merchandise. The initiative is scheduled to run from September 20 to October 3.
This program coincides with Child Passenger Safety Week, an annual observance dedicated to educating parents and caregivers about the proper use and installation of child restraints. The trade-in event provides an opportunity for families to dispose of outdated or unwanted car seats responsibly, while also benefiting from discounts on essential baby gear. The specific details regarding the amount of savings or the types of new baby gear included in the promotion were not provided.
Child Passenger Safety Week emphasizes the importance of selecting the correct car seat for a child’s age, weight, and height, as well as ensuring it is installed correctly. Each year, recalls and safety alerts are issued for car seats, making trade-in programs like Target’s a valuable service for upgrading to safer, compliant equipment. The program aims to address both safety concerns and environmental considerations by facilitating the recycling of car seats that might otherwise be discarded improperly.
Participants in the St. Louis area can bring their old car seats to participating Target locations during the specified dates. While the program encourages the recycling of car seats, information regarding the specific recycling process for the collected items was not detailed. The event is designed to support families in their efforts to ensure child passenger safety.
