Hyundai Motor America and the Baystate Health Foundation have hosted their second child safety seat event at Gary Rome Hyundai, reinforcing their commitment to enhancing child passenger safety. As part of this ongoing initiative, Hyundai donated an additional $20,000 to support Baystate Health’s Car Seat Safety Program.
Families from the Holyoke area attended the event, where certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPST) provided crucial education on the correct installation and use of car seats. These technicians also conducted thorough inspections to check for expiration dates, manufacturer recalls, and proper fit. Families in need received new car seats to ensure their children’s utmost safety.
“Hyundai’s dedication to safety goes beyond our world-class vehicles and into the communities we serve,” said Benjamin Michajlyszyn, director of the Safety Test and Investigation Laboratory at Hyundai Motor North America. “We are proud to continue our partnership with Baystate Health Foundation, bringing vital education and resources through programs like this one. Together, we are committed to providing parents and caregivers with the knowledge they need to keep their children safe on the road.”

To be able to partner with Hyundai to offer this to residents at no cost is a wonderful benefit to the community.”
Gary Rome, dealer principal at Gary Rome Hyundai, emphasized the event’s importance. “Ensuring that children are secure in properly functioning and correctly installed safety seats is a crucial responsibility.
