    I ordered Hunter boots for my kids on Saturday. Just got an email from Target saying due to high demand, they cancelled my order!! I’m so mad! Did that happen to anyone else?

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh bummer! Sorry to hear you order was cancelled! 🙁

    ugh, last year they did it in April and September, and I hadn’t heard anything yet so I JUST recycled them at a recycling event four days ago. 🙁
    This 20% off coupon is good, it always pays to know the going rates. I think when Babies R Us did this people said they jacked up the prices, but Target should be ok.

      You can just get it from buy buy baby for 20 percent off. They have coupons all the time.

      • Staci

        Thanks for the tip!

  3. Jamie

    Thanks for the heads up! Expecting our first in July and this will help. Now to find a family member with an old car seat they don’t use… 😉

    • Nikki

      Or get a cheap one at a yard sale or thrift store :)!

      • Mo

        You don’t know the history of used seats. They could have been in an accident or someone could have washed the seating pads incorrectly. You can’t wash the straps and most pads can’t go in the dryer.

        • Staci

          I think she means to use as the trade-in so she can get a coupon.

    Is it all target stores and do we go to customer service?tia

    • hemaya

      And would I be able to use the 15%registry as well ?

      • SJ

        Yes. You can use both coupons.

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yes! You will head to customer service. The details list – “All stores, excluding the small-format stores, are participating in the program.” And “Target will have drop-off boxes for guests’ unwanted car seats located near Guest Services. You can pick up a coupon from Target Guest Services, which will be located near the drop-off boxes.” Hope that helps!

    Think I can count on them to do this again in the fall? Need a car seat in October so it’s a lil early to buy and store it now.

  6. Crystal

    Does anyone know if they accept just a car seat base to get the coupon? I bought extra bases for different cars.

    • Anne

      I just looked on the FAQ and it mentioned both car seats and bases. So you should be able to get the coupon with an old car seat base.

  7. Ashley

    Is anyone planning to recycle their carseat or base that doesn’t need the coupon? If so I am looking for one! I heard you can use it online and so you could just email me the coupon code so you don’t have to ship it. Thank you in advance if you do… my email is [email protected]
