Child safety
Children must always sit secure while travel-
ling in the car.
Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats
and attachment devices) which is designed for
fitting in this particular car. Using Volvo's child
safety equipment, you obtain good conditions
for a child to travel safely in the car. In addi-
tion, the child safety equipment fits in well and
is simple to use.
The equipment that should be used is selected
taking account of the weight and size of the
child.
Volvo recommends that children travel in a
rear-facing child seat until as late an age as
possible, at least until 34 years of age, and
then in a front-facing child seat until the child
is 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches) tall.
NOTE
Legal provisions about the type of child
seat that must be used for children of dif-
ferent ages and heights vary from country
to country. Check what does apply.
NOTE
When using child safety equipment, it is
important to read the installation instruc-
tions included.
In the event of questions when fitting child
safety equipment, contact the manufac-
turer for clearer instructions.
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.
