Give your old car seat a new purpose
Baby Bunting is dedicated to enhancing the sustainability of our operations and we are excited to be trialing a car seat recycling program! Our 18-month trial ends in December 2025 and our goal is to recycle 2,400 car seats, preventing approx. 12 tonnes of expired or damaged child car seat material from ending up in landfill.
We need your help
We're asking for your help to reduce this wastage and create a greener future together by recycling your seat with us.
Recycle and repurpose
Recycled car seats are processed into materials that are then repurposed to create a range of products, including playground equipment and garden pots.
Recycling is free alongside any capsule, convertible or booster car seat purchase. If you prefer to simply drop-off your old seat, we kindly ask for a $15 service fee per seat to help cover some of the recycling costs and Baby Bunting will cover the rest.
The car seat recycling trial is currently available at 8 of our Victorian stores:
- Burnside
- Chirnside Park
- Cranbourne
- Frankston
- Hawthorn
- Maribyrnong
- Narre Warren
- Thomastown
The trial will run for the period of around 18 months, or once we reach our trial target of 2,400 seats recycled.
