There are no anchorage points available for installing a child restraint on the third row seats.
Tip
- Only use child restraints that are recommended by Volvo, universally approved or are vehicle specific approved where the car is included in the manufacturer’s vehicle list.
- Child restraints that use support legs are not allowed on the third row.
- Any restraining straps of a child restraint should always be secured to designated anchorage points. Do not secure restraining straps to seat rails, handles or other parts of the interior. There are no lower tether anchorage points at floor level for the third row seats.
- Remove cushion extenders, leg supports and other accessories from the seat before installing a child restraint. If you use a kick guard accessory, this can remain on the seat.
- When installing an adjustable, rearward-facing child restraint, adjust the child restraint according to the child’s age. Older children should be seated in a more upright position than younger ones.
- Before you install a child restraint on the third seat row, make sure you have enough space to move around. Fold the second row seats and move them forwards. When you raise the seats again and adjust their positions, take care not to let them press against the installed child restraint.
- Always leave the second row backrests in their most upright position when there is a child restraint installed behind them.
- When installing a child restraint secured using the car's seatbelt or when the car's seatbelt is used to secure a child, ensure that brackets or other parts of the restraint do not come into contact with the seatbelt buckle button.
- If you use the car seatbelt when installing a child restraint, you can set the seatbelt to only retract. Read more about this in a separate section of the manual.
Warning
Follow the instructions
Take extra care to read all information about child safety in this manual and follow the instructions from the manufacturer of your child restraint. If you do not, the child could sustain serious injury in the event of an accident.
Important
Note
Installation questions
If you have installation questions, contact the manufacturer of the child restraint for more detailed instructions.
Protecting the car interior
Be careful during installation to avoid damage to the car interior caused by protruding parts or sharp edges of the child restraint.
- Fasten loose parts of child restraints, such as restraining straps, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Important
Getting in and out of third row
Be careful when getting in and out of the third row to secure a child. To give you as much space as possible, fold the second row seat and move it forwards. When you raise the seat again and adjust its position, take care not to let it press against the installed child restraint.
Raised headrest
The headrest must always be raised when a child restraint is installed.
General safety recommendations
When applicable, follow the general safety recommendations regarding seatbelt use, headrest adjustment and proper seating. Make sure you read these sections of the manual before installing a child restraint.
Local regulations
Regulations on where and how children should be seated and secured differ between regions. Make sure that you know what applies to the region you are in.
Tip
Seatbelt reminder
The seatbelt reminder may appear for a seat if a child restraint has been installed without using the car's seatbelt. You can dismiss the reminder in the driver display, but other warning indicators will remain active. Buckle the seatbelt to remove them.
