Stay informed on child safety
While National Child Passenger Safety Week concluded Sept. 24, proper child safety practices are a year-round necessity. The PennDOT and Pennsylvania State Police encourage motorists to properly restrain children and educate themselves on the updated child passenger safety law.
PennDOT funds resources such as training and educational materials for 171 fitting stations across Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania State Police check more than 2,500 seats annually. The checkups are designed to teach drivers the proper installation and use of child safety seats.
Motorists are reminded that Pennsylvania’s primary seat-belt law requires drivers and passengers under 18-years-old to buckle up, and children under the age of 4 must be properly restrained in an approved child safety seat. Children ages 4 to 8 must be restrained in an appropriate booster seat.
