Do not place the convertible seat in the front
passenger's seat
NOTE
Refer to pages 47 and 49 for informa-
tion on securing a child restraint using
ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and/or top
tether anchorages.
Convertible seats can be used in either a for-
ward or rearward-facing position, depending
on the age and size of the child.
Route the seat belt through the convertible seat
WARNING
Always use a convertible seat that is suita-
ble for the child's age and size. See the
convertible seat manufacturer's recom-
mendations.
1. Place the convertible seat in the rear seat
of the vehicle.
WARNING
•
A small child's head represents a con-
siderable part of its total weight and its
neck is still very weak. Volvo recom-
mends that children up to age 4 travel,
properly restrained, facing rearward. In
addition, Volvo recommends that chil-
dren should ride rearward facing, prop-
erly restrained, as long as possible.
•
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.
2. Attach the seat belt to the convertible
seat according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
