Target’s annual car seat trade-in event is back now through Oct. 4, so you can get 20% off a new car seat, stroller or select other baby gear just by bringing in an old seat—even if it’s expired or damaged.
Besides being a safe and sustainable way to get rid of a damaged or expired car seat, the 20% trade-in credit can be combined with other deals. One of the best ones we’ve found? The Graco Verb Click Connect System. During the sale, it’s just $199.99, down from $249.99. That’s a great deal on a stroller / car seat combo from one of the top names in baby gear.
Parents often highlight the convenience of Graco’s travel system, which pairs a lightweight stroller with a SnugRide infant seat (up to 32 pounds, which is likely a little over one year old) that clicks in and out easily. One reviewer said it “fits my small car and folds up fast for errands,” while another praised its smooth push. Some do note the stroller feels less cushioned than pricier models, but most agree it’s a strong value set.
And while you’re on your Target run for baby gear, you may as well check out other deals. The Graco Pack ’n Play On-the-Go Playard is a portable sleep space that doubles as a safe play spot at home and right now, it’s on sale for $89.99. Many parents report their little ones are content in it long enough to cook dinner or get a quick chore done. Pair it with a Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn DJ Table ($47.99), and you’ve got a contained play setup that keeps little ones entertained.
Target is also running baby category sales alongside the trade-in: buy one, get one 50% off select kids’ and baby clothing, plus a $15 gift card with a $75 diaper or wipes purchase.
Target’s trade in program is more than a budget hack—it’s a way to clear out bulky seats that can’t be reused safely, while upgrading to the next stage as kids grow. Whether you’re trading for a booster, a fresh infant seat, or even a pack-and-play, it’s a straightforward way to stretch family dollars.
With trade-ins accepted in any condition and discounts running through early October, it’s one of the easiest ways to refresh baby gear while responsibly recycling what you no longer need.
