Children in the car
Important tips!
When using other child safety products
available on the market it is important that the
installation instructions are carefully read and
closely followed. These are some points that
you should consider:
· Child cushions and/or child seats with steel
frames or other parts which could press
against the seat belt release button must not
be used as they could accidentally cause the
belt buckle to open.
· Volvo has child safety products, which are
designed and tested for use in Volvo cars.
· The child seat should always be located
according to the manufacturer’s description.
· Do not attach the child seat straps to the
seat springs, rails or any of the rails and
struts under the seat which may have sharp
edges.
· Arrange the child seat backrest so that it
rests against the dashboard.
· Do not allow the top portion of the child
seat to rest against the windscreen.
· Never place a child seat on the front seat if
the car is equipped with an activated* airbag
(SRS) on the passenger side.
NOTE! If you have difficulties installing the
child safety product, contact the manufacturer
for clearer installation instructions.
Children should sit
comfortably and safely
Remember that children, regardless of age or
size, should always be securely strapped into
the car. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of
a passenger!
Location and equipment must be selected with
regard to the weight of the child.
Volvo’s own child safety equipment is designed
for your car. If you select Volvo equipment, you
can be sure that the mounting points and
attachments are correctly positioned and
sufficiently strong.
The smallest children should sit in rear-facing
seats. These give children up to the age of
3 years maximum protection.
NOTE! Many countries have statutory
requirements covering where a child may be
located in the car. Find out which rules apply in
the countries you visit.
* For information on activated/deactivated
airbag (SRS), see page 16.
WARNING!
Never place a child in a child seat or
booster cushion on the front seat if the
car is equipped with an activated* airbag
(SRS) on the passenger side. Failure to
follow this advice could endanger the
life of the child.

Check that the seat belt is in contact with the
child’s body and is not slack or twisted. Make
sure that the belt runs correctly over the
shoulder and that the lap belt is positioned low
down to afford maximum protection. The belt
must not touch the child’s neck or run below the
shoulder.

Volvo’s own integrated booster cushions for the outer rear seats are
specially designed to provide optimum safety for the child. In combination
with the regular seat belts, the booster cushions are approved for children
weighing between 15 and 36 kg.

Isofix bracket system for child seats (option), accessories
WARNING!
If the integrated booster cushion has been
exposed to heavy load, in a collision for
example, the entire booster cushion,
including the seat belt and screws, must be
replaced. Even if the integrated booster
cushion appears undamaged some of the
protective properties may have been lost.
The booster cushion should also be replaced
if it is very worn or damaged. The booster
seat cushoin should also be replaced if it is
very worn or damaged. Note that cushion
replacement must be carried out professio-
nally, because it is important for passenger
saftey that the cushion is correctly
is therefore best to entrust
replacement and any repairs to your Volvo
workshop. If the cushion is so dirty that it
requires separate cleaning, the above
instructions for replacing and installing the
cushion should be followed.
Do not alter or add anything to the child seat
cushions.
Isofix bracket system for
child seats
The car can be equipped with an Isofix bracket
system for child seats in the outer rear seats.
