Child safety
- Children must always sit secure while travelling 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.
Note
- Legal provisions about the type of child seat that must be used for children of different ages and heights vary from country to country. Check what does apply.
- When using child safety equipment, it is important to read the installation instructions included.
- In the event of questions when fitting child safety equipment, contact the manufacturer 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.
Child seats
- Suitable child seats should always be used when children are travelling in the car.
- Children should sit comfortably and safely. Make sure that the child seat is positioned, mounted and used correctly.
