Most states that are 1 & 20 states are actually only 1 & 20 states by virtue of a proper use clause. This is how Ohio is. The law does not explicitly state that a baby must be 1 year and 20 lbs to forward face, but it does state that the car seat must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's directions, and there are no manufacturers that allow a seat to be used forward facing before 1 year and 20 lbs.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure about PA, someone here might know if it's a proper use state though. I get my info about Ohio straight from the online text of the Ohio Revised Code - maybe PA has something similar?

Is PA a 1 & 20 state?

Better yet, which states are 1&20 states?

from my understanding we don't have a proper use clause... during my tech class there was a state trooper there who basically said nothing can be done if someone is ff'ing too young eventhough it goes against manufacturer's instructions... hth!
