I sent this to so many friends because all their kids have aged out of car seats now.  What better way to put their car seats to use instead of collecting dust?

Here's how it works (and honestly, it's so easy)!

Target’s Popular Car Seat Trade-In Event Is Back

You have from September 21st through October 4th to make the switch!

Step #1: Drop your old car seat off at a Target location near you and place it in the big, designated drop-off box near Guest Services.

Step #2: Scan the barcode on the Target Circle Bonus Sign with your phone and tap "Add to Target Circle Bonus."  If you're not sure where to go or how to scan it, just ask any Team Member for help!

Step #3: Open your Target App, go to your Wallet, and you'll see your new bonus waiting there.  That simple.

Step #4: You can then use your bonus on a qualifying future purchase before it expires on October 18th. You can even stack the bonus with other coupons and promos.
