Like Target, the intent of the trade-in was to use toward the purchase of an upgraded car seat of other needed baby items, and a limit of 2 per household.
But unlike Target the terms were lite to say the least- they just gave you a $30 giftcard to use how you please.
So you had people getting old car seats from wherever they could, and several using different IDs or other family members to get past the 2 per household.
It got so excessive that managers started ending their store participation, and Walmart corporate officially pulled the plug 9 days earlier than the announced run.

I'd normally agree with your statement about planned obsolescence. With the potential temperature extremes however in a typical car, plus all of the inevitable spilled drinks and food, bodily fluids, plus general wear and tear... After a good 6-7 years, I'd venture that sometimes it's worth it to upgrade car seats (if your child hasn't already outgrown it by then)

It's not like they're raw chicken or milk but yes, they have expiration dates.

Yes. Seats usually expire between 6 - 10 years from their manufacture date. They say this limited useful life is due to the reduced safety resulting from breakdown in materials/wear and tear etc.

Ymmv but when our local Targets do this , they just have a pallet sized box sitting by the entrances. The box has a QR code on it for the coupon. Therefore you don't actually have to trade anything in. Anyone can walk by and scan the code to load the coupon.

You must be one of those people that think canned food expires the day it says it does (if at all). Expiration dates are planned obsolescence at best on 98% of shit. Yet another thing created to help consumers but then twisted into a way to profit (while simultaneously creating mountains of trash that is perfectly good stuff).

It's truly beyond depressing and soul crushing.

Walmart should do $30 gift card if you trade in and purchase a carseat. It's crazy that you get $30 for just bringing in a old one

So far the target offer, based on last year, you really do not need a physical car seat to get the coupon. In the target app, there was option to select this trade-in offer, once you click the link it ultimately ended up providing the coupon. So basically, you don't need to drop the old card seat get the coupon

Will a car seat and a car seat base be considered 2 trade ins? I have a car seat and 2 car seat bases.
Yes. A base alone is considered 1 item

I heard it was 5 years. It's especially true if you park outside and the sun bakes the plastic
