"Hyundai Loves Kids" Wristbands
Hyundai understands how crowded it can get at an auto show and the anguish of a lost child. Families with children can come to the Hyundai booth to receive a free "Hyundai Loves Kids" wristband for their children. Each wristband has a place for parents to write their phone number in case their child gets separated from their family.
