LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Target's car seat trade-in program is returning this month in honor of National Baby Safety month. Customers can trade in old car seats from Sunday, September 10 through 23 at Target stores and receive a coupon for 20 percent off the purchase of a new car seat, including booster seats, car seat bases and travel systems.

Babies outgrow everything. So whether your baby has outgrown his or her Goldfish-encrusted seat right now or the old ride sits in the garage along with a set of dusty free weights and a busted vacuum, Target invites you to drop it off in exchange for a 20 percent off coupon toward the purchase of new car seat.

In honor of September being National Baby Safety Month, a pair of large retailers are giving parents a chance to unload their children's old car seats and save some money on new ones. Target has announced the return of its car seat trade-in program in which customers can trade in old car seats from Sept. 10-23 at Target stores and receive a coupon for 20 percent off the purchase of a new car seat, including booster seats, car seat bases and travel systems.

When your growing-like-a-weed baby outgrows her infant car seat, it'll probably just wind up in the Land of Lost Baby Gear in your basement, destined to collect dust until you back up a truck to haul out all your old stuff years from now. But from September 10 through 23, Target will take that yucky old car seat off your hands, turn it into something brand-new and helpful for the environment, and hand you a 20 percent discount coupon for the next seat in your baby’s journey through the world of baby safety gear.

It's hard to know exactly what to do with a car seat that your child has outgrown. But, Target's here to make getting rid of it easy for you. They're re-launching their car seat trade-in event which allows you to drop off your old car seat in order to be recycled and in return, receive a 20 percent off coupon for your next car seat purchase. The store offered this program back in April, and it was extremely popular. According to a press release, they collected over 80,000 car seats during the trial, totaling over one million pounds of car seats to be recycled.

Remember that car seat that has been taking up precious storage space for an eternity? Reality check: You're not going to get around to selling it if you haven't already. But hey, now you can finally get rid of it! Target is bringing back its popular car-seat trade-in program that's good for the environment and for your wallet. Back in April, the mom-favorite retailer decided to stop parents from throwing their old car seats into the trash by taking them and upcycling them into new products. Over the past 100 years, humans have produced almost 10,000 percent more waste and created massive landfills that are terrible for our health and environment. Everyone loved Target's idea so much that the company collected more than a million pounds of car seat material, which were recycled into dozens of new products.

It was a brilliant idea the first time around in the spring when Target let parents trade in their old car seats for a discount on a new one. When little ones are growing like weeds, it honestly killed two birds with one stone. Not only do parents save money, but they also get to offload a bulky car seat that would probably take up precious storage space for way too long. All while actually doing something good for the environment — no wonder the idea went over like gangbusters. Parents loved Target's car seat trade-in program so much last spring that now the program is making another limited time appearance.
