Ron’s right — PA to OH is about as low-risk as interstate fireworks transport gets. Both states are permissive on 1.4G for personal use. Just keep your receipt with you so you can show it’s personal consumer stuff and not commercial inventory.
One thing people overlook: check if your car insurance covers it. Most personal auto policies don’t explicitly exclude consumer fireworks for personal transport, but it’s worth knowing. And yeah, trunk only. Backseat is asking for trouble if you brake hard.
We’ve got a thread in the Transportation section with more detailed advice on interstate transport if you wanna dig deeper.
