New security guidelines stipulate that all individuals traveling by air need a passport. Children under 16 can still cross sea and land borders with a certified US birth certificate.

A child needs a passport to any place that an adult needs a passport to enter. Passports are available to a child as young as newborn, and just needs the parents signature in place of the child. Children passport expire the same as a regular passport and the photo's can be taken at any passport photo center.
