Is Your Child Passenger Safe ?


Did you know that each year thousands of children are injured or killed by safety seats that are improperly fastened by parents or caretakers. Statics indicate that  7 out of 10 children in safetly seats are not properly buckled in.

 Pennsylvania’s primary child passenger safety law, requires  children under the age of four to be properly restrained in an approved child safety seat anywhere in the vehicle.


Children from age four up to age eight must be restrained in an appropriate booster seat.

Children from age 8 up to age 18 must be in a seat belt.
For more information on child passenger safety in Pennsylvania, visit the PA Traffic Injury Prevention Project or call 1-800-CAR-BELT.


There Certified technicians that will inspect your child car seat, in most cases, free of charge - and show you how to correctly install and use it.  To find a child car seat inpection station in your area visit:

Remember, most collisions occur within a mile of the home - so buckle your child in a safety seat for every trip, no matter how short.
