Child safety
Children should also sit comfort-
ably - and safely!
An adult wearing a seat belt in a Volvo has ex-
cellent protection in the event of a collision or
other road accident. To give your children
the same degree of protection, we suggest the
following concerning the seating of children
in cars.
Remember that children, irrespective of
age and size, should always wear seat belts.
Never place a child in a passenger's lap!
The type of child safety equipment and its
positioning in the car should be determined
with regard to the child's weight. You should
use the children's seats and cushions specifi-
cally developed by Volvo for Volvo cars.
Placing in the front seat
Placing in the rear seat's outer positions
Children aged up to about 3
Even new-born babies can sit safely in Vol-
vo's child safety seat. This seat is approved
for use in the front seat facing rearwards, in
combination with a special installation kit
and the car's standard 3-point seat belt and in
the rear seat's outer and centre positions (for
children weighing up to 40 lb, 18 kg).
In order for small children to sit securely in
the child seats, an extra lining is available
which can easily be placed in the seat.
When fitting the attachments and anchorage
straps to the child seat, please take particular
care to follow the instructions included with
the child seat for maximum safety.

The child seat fixture fits onto the seat's
slide rails in the back seat, and in the front
seat to the centre console and side members.
See installation instructions. (This should be
carried out by your Volvo dealer.) Attach the
anchorage straps to the eyelets.
For installation in the rear seat, it is also
necessary to fit a support to the child seat.

Note! Many countries have legislation on
child seating in cars. Be sure to find
out what specific regulations apply in
the various countries in which you plan
to drive.
WARNING!
Never install or place a child seat in the
front passenger seat in vehicles fitted with
SRS (Airbag).
