Children should be seated safely
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children.Remember that, regardless of age and size, achild should always be properly restrained ina vehicle. Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it moreconvenient to install child seats. Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lapbelts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt.Such child restraint systems can help protectchildren in vehicles in the event of an acci-dent only if they are used properly. However,children could be endangered in a crash if thechild restraints are not properly secured in thevehicle. Failure to follow the installationinstructions for your child restraint can resultin your child striking the vehicle's interior in asudden stop. Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In anaccident, a child held in a person's arms canbe crushed between the vehicle's interior andan unrestrained person. The child could alsobe injured by striking the interior, or by beingejected from the vehicle during a suddenmaneuver or impact. The same can also hap-pen if the infant or child rides unrestrained onthe seat. Other occupants should also beproperly restrained to help reduce the chanceof injuring or increasing the injury of a child. All states and provinces have legislation gov- erning how and where children should be car-ried in a vehicle. Find out the regulationsexisting in your state or province. Recentaccident statistics have shown that childrenare safer in rear seating positions than frontseating positions when properly restrained. Achild restraint system can help protect a childin a vehicle. Here's what to look for whenselecting a child restraint system: It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards (FMVSS 213) – or in Canada,CMVSS 213. Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight anddevelopment – the label required by thestandard or regulation, or instructions forinfant restraints, typically provide this infor-mation. In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over the instructions thatare provided with the restraint. Be sure youunderstand them and can use the deviceproperly and safely in this vehicle. A misusedchild restraint system can result in increased
injuries for both the infant or child and otheroccupants in the vehicle. When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear seat with thestandard seat belt fastened. The best way tohelp protect the child here is to place thechild on a cushion so that the seat belt isproperly located on the hips (see the illustra-tion on page 46). Legislation in your state orprovince may mandate the use of a child seator cushion in combination with the seat belt,depending on the child's age and/or size.Please check local regulations. A specially designed and tested booster cushion and backrest can be obtained fromyour Volvo retailer. USA

Infant seat
There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats, convertible seats, andbooster cushions. They are classified accord-ing to the child's age and size. The following section provides general infor-
mation on securing a child restraint using a

Do not place the convertible seat in the front passenger's seat
NOTE
Refer to pages 47 and 49 for informa- tion on securing a child restraint usingISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and/or toptether anchorages.

Always use a convertible seat that is suita- ble for the child's age and size. See theconvertible seat manufacturer's recom-mendations.

WARNING
•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, prop-erly restrained, as long as possible.
• Convertible child seats should be instal-
led in the rear seat only.
• A rear-facing convertible seat shouldnot be positioned behind the driver'sseat unless there is adequate space forsafe installation.
2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible
seat according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Top tether anchors01

Child restraint anchorages
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. Theyare located on the rear side of the backrests.
Securing a child seat1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the headrestraint and attach it to the anchor.
3. Attach lower tether straps to the lower ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. If the child restraint 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 (seepage 38). 4. Firmly tension all straps. Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing thechild seat.
NOTE
On models equipped with the optional cargo area cover, this cover should beremoved before a child seat is attached tothe child restraint anchors.
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.
