SAFETY
Convertible seats
Suitable child restraints should always be
used when children (depending on their age/
size) are seated in the vehicle.
Securing a convertible seat with a seat
belt
Do not place the convertible seat in the front pas-
senger's seat.
Convertible seats can be used in either a for-
ward or rearward-facing position, depending
on the age and size of the child.
70
Route the seat belt through the convertible seat.
WARNING
Always use a convertible seat that is suita-
ble for the child's age and size. See the
convertible seat manufacturer's recom-
mendations.
1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat
of the vehicle.
WARNING
A small child's head represents a con-
•
siderable part of its total weight and its
neck is still very weak. Volvo recom-
mends that children up to age 4 travel,
properly restrained, facing rearward. In
addition, Volvo recommends that chil-
dren should ride rearward facing, prop-
erly restrained, as long as possible.
Convertible child seats should be instal-
•
led 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 child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions.
