Since 1984, Pennsylvania has had a law that requires all children under the age of 4 to be secured in a safety seat. Over the years, this law has been updated to protect the lives of child passengers further. The law initially only required children to be fastened by a seatbelt.
In June 2016, legislation was signed into law requiring all children under the age of 8, less than 57 inches tall, or less than 80 pounds, are required to be placed in a car or booster seat as approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation's standards.
Currently, the new car seat laws in PA are as follows. As of August 12, 2016, Pennsylvania's new car seat law requires children under the age of 2 to be secured in a rear-facing car seat. Children must remain in a rear-facing car seat until they outgrow the seats as indicated by the manufacturer.
Car seats typically last 7 to 10 years, depending on the manufacturer. To know for certain, look for a label on the car seat or refer to the user manual. On this label, you will usually find either an expiration date or a manufacturing date.
