Volvo 1990 780 Model
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat (approximately age 4-5 years, depending on size) you
should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here
is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat/lap belt is properly located on the hips.
A specially designed and tested safety cushion for this purpose can be obtained from your Volvo dealer.

Child Restraint Anchorages
Volvo cars are fitted with Child Restraint Top Tether Anchorages in the rear seat. There are three
anchorages under the rear section of the car's rear window shelf. When the car is delivered, the holes for
these anchorages are covered by plastic covers. In cars designated for Canada, one top tether anchorage
set will be in the glove box. The top tether anchorage set includes the top tether anchorage plate, a M8
bolt 1.18 inch (30 mm) long and a plastic trim cover (see illustration).
If another set is needed, consult your Volvo dealer.
Installing the top tether
Remove the plastic screw covering the anchorage point you want to use. This can be done with a
suitable coin. The screw is removed counter-clockwise. Place the top tether anchorage plate as shown in
the illustration. Using the M8 bolt, tighten securely, to 16 +/- 2.5 ft-lb. Place the plastic trim plate over
the anchorage plate, if desired.
