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 passeng-
er's seat.
Convertible seats can be used in either a forward
or rearward-facing position, depending on the
age and size of the child.
Route the seat belt through the convertible seat.
WARNING
Always use a convertible seat that is suitable
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 child restraint manufactur-
er's instructions.
