When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, 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 (not available in
Canada) so that the seat belt is properly located on the hips
A specially designed and tested booster cushion for children between 22.7 - 36 kg (50 - 80 lbs) and 117 -
137 cm (46 - 54") can be obtained from your Volvo retailer.
If necessary, an auxiliary seat for children is available for use in the luggage compartment of station
wagon models. This seat is designed for two children, each weighing between 23 - 40 kg (50 - 88 lbs.)
and up to 150 cm (59 inches) in height.
WARNING!
When using the auxiliary seat for children, both sections of the rear seat backrest must be secured in
the upright position
Do not use a booster cushion or child seat in conjunction with the auxiliary seat.

production line. Three-point seat belts, safety cages, and energy-absorbing impact zones were designed
into Volvo cars long before it was fashionable or required by government regulation. We will not
compromise our commitment to safety. We continue to seek out new safety features and to refine those
