During the event, nationally certified child passenger safety technicians (CPST) inspected car seats for expiration, manufacturer recalls, and/or proper fit of the seat for children. Hyundai’s corporate social responsibility initiative, Hyundai Hope, and its employee resource group, [email protected], donated $10,000 and 2,100 infant diapers to the infant supply drive during the Move for Kids event.
“Correct installation of car seats combined with proper education of parents, caregivers and children are critical to the safety of our youngest passengers,” said Brian Latouf, chief safety officer, Hyundai Motor North America. “Hyundai continues to offer technologies and systems that help protect those on the road. We are grateful to host car seat check events like this one to continue to support child passenger safety efforts with leading partners like Lurie Children’s Hospital.”
