The front seat belt law in the United States began to be implemented in the late 1960s, with New York being the first state to require front seat belts in 1984. By the mid-1980s, several other states followed suit. However, the adoption of mandatory seat belt laws varied by state, with many states enacting them throughout the 1990s and 2000s.

Does a fourteen year old need a seat belt in the third seat?

Everyone who's in the car needs a seat belt. If you crash the person who has no belt on will be pushed forward by the crash and can hurt the people in the front seat before they fly out the windshield and hits oncoming traffic. If the kids have no belts on the owner/driver/parent will be responsible for their deaths.
