Securing a convertible seat with a seat
belt
Do not place the convertible seat in the front pas-
senger's seat
Refer to page 42 for information on secur-
ing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower
anchors.
Convertible seats can be used in either a for-
ward or rearward-facing position, depending
on the age and size of the child.
Always use a convertible seat that is suita-
ble for the child's age and size. See the
convertible seat manufacturer's recommen-
dations.
Route the seat belt through the convertible seat
A small child's head represents a consider-
able part of its total weight and its neck is
still very weak. Volvo recommends that chil-
dren up to age 4 travel, properly restrained,
facing rearward. In addition, Volvo recom-
mends that children should ride rearward
facing, properly restrained, as long as pos-
sible.
•
Convertible child seats should be instal-
led in the rear seat only.
•
A rear-facing convertible seat should not
be positioned behind the driver's seat
unless there is adequate space for safe
installation.
1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat of
the vehicle.
