Child safety
Children should be seated safely
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants
including children. Remember that, regardless of age and size, a child
should always be properly restrained in a car.
Your car is also equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH attachments, which
make it more convenient to install child seats.
Some restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the
vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Such child
restraint systems can help protect children in cars in the event of an
accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be
endangered in a crash if the child restraints are not properly secured in
the vehicle. Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child
restraint can result in your child striking the vehicle's interior in a
sudden stop.
Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child
restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be
crushed between the vehicle's interior and an unrestrained person. The
child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being ejected
from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can
also happen if the infant or child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other
occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce the chance
of injuring or increasing the injury of a child.
All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where
children should be carried in a car. Find out the regulations existing in
your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that
children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions
when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a
child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child
restraint system:
• It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) - or in Canada,
CMVSS 213.
• Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's
height, weight and development - the label required by the standard or
regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this
information.
• In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over
the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you
understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this
vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased
injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle.
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 so that the seat belt is
properly located on the hips (see the illustration on page 20). Legislation
in your state or province may mandate the use of a child seat or cushion
in combination with the seat belt, depending on the child's age and/or
size. Please check local regulations.
A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in
Canada) can be obtained from your Volvo retailer for children weighing
33 - 80 lb. (15 - 36 kg) and 38-54 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height.
WARNING!
• Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in
the front passenger’s seat. We also recommend that children under 4
feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who have outgrown these devices
sit in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
• On hot days, the temperature in the vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure to these high temperatures for even a short period
of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.
