Hyundai Partners with Children's of Alabama to underscore commitment to Passenger and Driver Safety Education

August 2 2022

  • Hyundai Hope Donates $50,000 to Support Child Passenger and Driver Education Programs
  • Hyundai and Children’s of Alabama Host Car Seat #safety Check Event at #hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama


MONTGOMERY, Ala., August 2, 2022 –
 Hyundai Motor America announced its partnership with Children’s of Alabama in support of its #health Education and #safety Center program. Hyundai’s donation will assist in offering consumer #educational events, including a car seat #safety check event with Children’s of Alabama at #hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) in Montgomery that kicked off the partnership on July 30.

An estimated 46 percent of car seats and booster seats are installed incorrectly or improperly used, according to NHTSA’s Child Restraints Usage Study. During the event, nationally certified child passenger #safety technicians inspected car seats for expiration, manufacturer recalls, and/or proper fit of the seat for children. Families received a free replacement car seat, if needed.

“Part of a safe driving experience includes protecting drivers, passengers, and others on the road through education and proper installation of #safety seats,” said #brianlatouf, global chief #safety officer, #hyundai Motor Company. “Hyundai continues to double down on our #safety commitments with child passenger #safety efforts through partnerships with leaders in #educational #safety programs.”

“Our team members are proud to play an integral part in assembling safe, high-quality vehicles for the North American market,” said #robertburns, chief administrative officer, #hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama. “Our production processes and internal #safety checks are the foundation for delivering a vehicle that achieves all of the design specifications for adult and child passenger #safety.”  

“We are so excited about our partnership with #hyundai to provide education regarding child passenger #safety,” said #mariecrew, director, #health education and #safety center, Children’s of Alabama. “Parents and caregivers want to know they are transporting their children safely. This partnership allows us to be able to expand our #educational programs and reach more communities.”

According to the Alabama Child Death Review System, vehicular fatalities are the single largest category of accidental child deaths in Alabama. Hyundai’s partnership with Children’s of Alabama will include additional child passenger #safety inspections and driver #safety education workshops to promote safe travel in automobiles.
