pg. 27 Child safety
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, a child should always be properly restrained in a car.
Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX/ LATCH attachments, which make it more convenient to install child seats.
Restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-
shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in cars in the event of an accident only if they
are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured
in the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking
the vehicle's interior in a sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, a child held in
a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be
injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same
can also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly
restrained to help reduce the chance of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.
