Child Safety; Child Seats And Airbags - Volvo XC90 Owner's Manual

Child safety

Children should sit comfortably
and safely
The position of a child in the car and the
choice of equipment is dictated by the child's
height and weight, for more information, see
page 31.
Children of all ages and sizes must always sit
correctly secured in the car. Never allow a
child to sit on the knee of a passenger.
Volvo's own child safety equipment is
designed for your car. Use Volvo genuine
equipment to best ensure that the mounting
points and attachments are correctly
positioned and are sufficiently strong.
NOTE! Regulations regarding the placement
of children in cars vary from country to
country. Check what laws apply.
You may place:
• a child seat or booster cushion on the
front passenger seat, provided the
passenger airbag is not activated
• a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat
that uses the back of the front seat as
support.
Child seat and seatbelt
reminder
If a rear-facing infant or child seat is placed in
the front seat and secured using the seatbelt,
the seatbelt reminder might not be activated.
Always check that the belt is locked before
driving off!
