for the child's age and size. See the converti-
ble seat manufacturer's recommendations.
1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat of
the vehicle.
WARNING
•
A small child's head represents a consider-
able part of its total weight and its neck is
still very weak. Volvo recommends that
children up to age 4 travel, properly
restrained, facing rearward. In addition,
Volvo recommends that children should
ride rearward facing, properly restrained, as
long as possible.
•
Convertible child seats should be installed
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.
2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible seat
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
