Hyundai Motor America and Children’s Hospital of Alabama will host a free car seat safety check event at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in Montgomery, Alabama.

During the event, nationally certified child passenger safety technicians (CPST) will inspect car seats for expiration, manufacturer recalls, and/or proper fit of the seat for children. An estimated 46 percent of car seats and booster seats are installed incorrectly or improperly used, according to NHTSA’s study.

The event will take place on Saturday, July 30, 2022, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Appointments are required and can be made by calling 800-504-9768. The event is free and open to members of the public.

In addition to the car seat safety checks, Hyundai will be making a donation to Children’s Hospital of Alabama as part of Hyundai’s corporate social responsibility initiative, Hyundai Hope.
