Convertible seats
Securing a convertible seat with a seat
belt
WARNING
WARNING
Always use a convertible seat that is suita-
ble for the child's age and size. See the con-
vertible seat manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
A small child's head represents a consider-
able part of its total weight and its neck is
still very weak. Volvo recommends that chil-
dren up to age 4 travel, properly restrained,
facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recom-
mends that children should ride rearward
facing, properly restrained, as long as pos-
sible.
WARNING
Convertible child seats should be instal-
led in the rear seat only.
•
A rear-facing convertible seat should not
•
be positioned behind the driver's seat
unless there is adequate space for safe
installation.
Do not place the convertible seat in the front pas-
senger's seat
1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat
of the vehicle.
NOTE
Refer to pages 47–48 for information on
securing a child restraint using ISOFIX/
LATCH lower anchors and/or top tether
anchorages.
Route the seat belt through the convertible seat
Convertible seats can be used in either a for-
ward or rearward-facing position, depending
on the age and size of the child.
