Child safety
Children must always sit secure while traveling 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 addition, 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 4 years of age, and then in a front-facing child seat until the child is 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches) tall.
Child seats
Suitable child seats should always be used when children are traveling in the car.
Children should sit comfortably and safely. Make sure that the child seat is positioned, mounted and used correctly.
Look in the installation instructions for the child seat for the correct fitting.
