Infant seat
There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats (p. 49), convertibleseats (p. 51), and booster cush-ions (p. 53). They are classified according tothe child's age and size. The following section provides general infor-
mation on securing a child restraint using a
three-point seat belt (p. 28). Refer to ISOFIX/ LATCH lower anchors (p. 54) and Top tetheranchors (p. 56) for information on securinga child restraint using ISOFIX/LATCH loweranchors and/or top tether anchorages.

WARNING
Always refer to the child restraint manufac- turer's instructions for detailed informationon securing the restraint.
WARNING
•When not in use, keep the child restraint system secured or remove itfrom the passenger compartment tohelp prevent it from injuring passen-gers in the event of a sudden stop orcollision.
• A small child's head represents a con-siderable part of its total weight and itsneck is still very weak. Volvo recom-mends that children up to age 4 travel,properly restrained, facing rearward. Inaddition, Volvo recommends that chil-dren should ride rearward facing,properly restrained, as long as possi-ble.
Automatic Locking Retractor/ Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR)
To make child seat installation easier, each seat belt (except for the driver's belt) is equip-ped with a locking mechanism to help keepthe seat belt taut.
When attaching the seat belt to a child
seat:
1. Attach the seat belt to the child seat according to the child seat manufactur- er's instructions.
2. Pull the seat belt out as far as possible. 3. Insert the seat belt latch plate into the
buckle (lock) in the usual way.
4. Release the seat belt and pull it taut around the child seat.
A sound from the seat belt retractor will beaudible at this time and is normal. The beltwill now be locked in place. This function isautomatically disabled when the seat belt isunlocked and the belt is fully retracted.
WARNING
Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the frontpassenger's seat. We also recommendthat children who have outgrown thesedevices sit in the rear seat with the seatbelt properly fastened.
Child restraint registration and recallsChild restraints could be recalled for safety reasons. You must register your childrestraint to be reached in a recall. To stayinformed about child safety seat recalls, besure to fill out and return the registration cardthat comes with new child restraints.

Child restraint anchorages
Securing a child seat

3. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and attach it to the anchor.
4. Fold down the outboard head restraints or lower the center head restraint for eas- ier access to the ISOFIX/LATCH anchor. 5. Attach lower tether straps to the lower
ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. If the childrestraint is not equipped with lower tetherstraps, or the restraint is used in the cen-ter seating position, follow instructions forsecuring a child restraint using the Auto-matic Locking Retractor seat belt (seeChild restraints (p. 47)).
6. Firmly tension all straps. Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing thechild seat.
WARNING
• Always refer to the recommendations made by the child restraint manufac-turer.
• Volvo recommends that the top tetheranchors be used when installing a for-ward-facing child restraint.
• Never route a top tether strap over thetop of the head restraint. The strapshould be routed beneath the headrestraint.
• Child restraint anchorages aredesigned to withstand only thoseloads imposed by correctly fitted childrestraints. Under no circumstances arethey to be used for adult seat belts orharnesses. The anchorages are notable to withstand excessive forces onthem in the event of collision if full har-ness seat belts or adult seat belts areinstalled to them. An adult who uses abelt anchored in a child restraintanchorage runs a great risk of suffer-ing severe injuries should a collisionoccur.
• Do not install rear speakers thatrequire the removal of the top tetheranchors or interfere with the properuse of the top tether strap.
