Integrated booster cushion – general

information

In Canada, Transport Canada's

weight recommendation is 40 –

80 lbs (18 – 36 kg).

Do not install rear speakers that

require the removal of the top tether

anchors or interfere with the proper

use of the top tether strap.

•

The booster cushions are designed to raise

the child higher so that the shoulder strap

crosses over the child's collarbone, not over

the neck.

If using a booster cushion does not result in

proper positioning of the shoulder strap, then

the child should be placed in a properly

secured child restraint (see (p. 47) ). The

shoulder belt must never be placed behind

the child's back or under the arm.

02

Integrated two-stage booster cushion²

Volvo's optional integrated booster cushions

are located in the outboard seating positions.

These booster cushions have been specially

designed to help safeguard children in the

rear seat. They should be stowed (p. 60)

(folded down into the seat cushion) when not

in use. When using an integrated booster

cushion (p. 59), the child must be secured

with the vehicle's three-point seat belt.
