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 VehicleSafety Standards (FMVSS 213) – or inCanada, CMVSS 213.
• Make sure the child restraint system isapproved for the child's height, weightand development – the label required bythe standard or regulation, or instructionsfor infant restraints, typically provide thisinformation.
• In using any child restraint system, weurge you to carefully look over theinstructions that are provided with therestraint. Be sure you understand themand can use the device properly andsafely in this vehicle. A misused childrestraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child andother occupants 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 page 48.Legislation in your state or province maymandate the use of a child seat or cushion incombination with the seat belt, depending onthe child's age and/or size. Please checklocal regulations. A specially designed and tested booster cushion and backrest can be obtained fromyour Volvo retailer. USA : for children weighing 33 – 80 lbs. (15 –
36 kg) and 38 – 54 inches (97 – 137 cm) in height Canada : for children weighing 40 – 80 lbs.

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
three-point seat belt. Refer to page 49 and page 51 for information on securing a childrestraint using ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchorsand/or top tether anchorages.
G026503
Convertible seat
WARNING
A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with afront passenger airbag – not even if thePASSENGER AIRBAG OFF symbol near
the rear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehi-cles equipped with Occupant Weight Sen-sor). If the severity of an accident were tocause the airbag to inflate, this could leadto serious injury or death to a child seatedin this position.

Positioning the seat belt through the infant seat
WARNING
•An infant seat must be in the rear-facing position only.
• The infant seat should not be positionedbehind the driver's seat unless there isadequate space for safe installation.

G026420
Do not place the convertible seat in the front passenger's seat
NOTE
Refer to page 49 and page 51 for infor- mation on securing a child restraint usingISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and/or toptether anchorages.
Convertible seats can be used in either a for- ward or rearward-facing position, dependingon the age and size of the child.
WARNING
Always use a convertible seat that is suita- ble for the child's age and size. See theconvertible seat manufacturer's recom-mendations.
G026503
Route the seat belt through the convertible seat
WARNING
A small child's head represents a consid- erable part of its total weight and its neckis still very weak. Volvo recommends thatchildren up to age 4 travel, properlyrestrained, facing rearward. In addition,Volvo recommends that children shouldride rearward facing, properly restrained,as long as possible.

To access the anchors:1. Put the child restraint in position.
2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel. 3. Fasten the attachment on the child
restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors.
4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufacturer's instruc-tions.
WARNING
Volvo's ISOFIX/LATCH anchors conform to FMVSS/CMVSS standards. Always refer tothe child restraint system's manual forweight and size ratings.
WARNING
The ISOFIX/LATCH lower child restraint anchors are only intended for use withchild seats positioned in the outboardseating positions. These anchors are notcertified for use with any child restraintthat is positioned in the center seatingposition. When securing a child restraint inthe center seating position, use only thevehicle's center seat belt.
NOTE

Top tether anchors
G027032
Top tether anchorage points
Your vehicle is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in all second row seatpositions (second-row seats only in 7-seatmodels).
Using the top tether anchorages
• Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
• Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and fasten its attachment to theanchorage.
WARNING
Be sure to fasten the child tether attach- ment correctly to the anchor. If it is notcorrectly fastened, the child seat may notbe properly restrained in the event of acollision.
•Firmly tension the top tether strap according to the child restraint manufac-turer's instructions. Tension the top tetherstrap only after the lower anchor straps orthe seat belt have been firmly tensioned.
For securing the child restraint to ISOFIX/ LATCH lower anchors,see page 49.
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 or around the head restraint. Itshould always be routed under thehead restraint.
• 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.
