Pennsylvania's Child Passenger Restraint Fund is established to finance the purchase and distribution of federally approved child restraint seats to families in need. Funds come from fines, federal grants, and donations, and are used to support qualified loaner programs for children under eight who cannot afford proper restraints. Additionally, hospitals must inform parents about available restraint programs and provide educational materials on child passenger safety.
