01 Safety

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

vehicle.

Your vehicle is also equipped with ISOFIX/

LATCH attachments, which make it more con-

venient 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 vehicles in the event of an accident

only if they are used properly. However, chil-

dren could be endangered in a crash if the child

restraints are not properly secured in the vehi-

cle. 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 ejec-

ted 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 gov-

erning how and where children should be car-

ried in a vehicle. Find out the regulations exist-

ing in your state or province. Recent accident

statistics have shown that children are safer in

rear seating positions than front seating posi-

tions 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 stand-

ard 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 under-

stand 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

45). 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 cush-

ion and backrest can be obtained from your

Volvo retailer.
