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.

What age can you use a table booster seat? Booster seats are typically used by young toddlers all the way up to the age of about 5, and they're specifically designed for children who can sit up well by themselves. This milestone can occur anytime between the four- to nine-month mark, but it varies between children.
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.
Guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2011 recommend that kids use a booster seat until they are at least 4'9'' tall (57 inches) and weigh between 80 and 100 pounds. This will likely be around the ages of 8-12 years. But it's the physical dimensions that matter most.
With rare exceptions, Pennsylvania law requires children under age four riding anywhere in a vehicle to be secured in a child passenger restraint system that complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Children ages four to seven must use a booster seat if they have outgrown a car seat.
