device designed, by law, to help protect an
adult.
Because of the size of the airbag and its speed
of inflation, a child should never be placed in
the front seat, even if he or she is properly bel-
ted or strapped into a child safety seat. Volvo
has been an innovator in the field of safety
since it was founded. And we have no inten-
tion of resting on our laurels. But we need
your help. Please remember to put your chil-
dren in the back seat, and buckle them up.

connect the airbag system in your vehicle.

There are three main types of child restraint
systems: infant seats, convertible seats and
