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.

Integrated booster cushion – general information
The booster cushions are designed to raise the child higher so that the shoulder strapcrosses over the child's collarbone, not overthe neck.
Integrated two-stage booster cushion 2Volvo's optional integrated booster cushionsare located in the outboard seating positions.These booster cushions have been speciallydesigned to help safeguard children in therear seat. They should be stowed (p. 60)(folded down into the seat cushion) when notin use. When using an integrated boostercushion (p. 59), the child must be securedwith the vehicle's three-point seat belt.
Use these booster cushions only with children whose weight isbetween: • Stage 1: 48 – 80 lbs (22 – 36 kg)
• Stage 2: 33 – 55 lbs (15 – 25 kg)
and whose height is between:• Stage 1: 45 – 55 in. (115 – 140 cm)
• Stage 2: 37 – 47 in. (95 – 120 cm) In Canada, Transport Canada's weight recommendation is 40 – 80 lbs (18 – 36 kg). If using a booster cushion does not result in proper positioning of the shoulder strap, thenthe child should be placed in a properlysecured child restraint (see (p. 47) ). Theshoulder belt must never be placed behindthe child's back or under the arm.
Correct seating position: child's head is below the head restraint and the shoulder belt is acrossthe collarbone
