The child seat is specially designed to provide children with good safety, together with the car's seatbelt.
The child seat is approved for children who weigh 15-36 kg (33-80 lbs) and are at least 97 cm (38 inches) tall. 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.
Check before driving that:
- the seat cushion in locked in position
- the head restraint is adjusted at the same height as the child's head, if possible, so that it covers the entire back of the head
- the seatbelt is in contact with the child's body and is not slack or twisted
- the seatbelt does not lie across the child's throat or below the shoulder
- the lap section of the seatbelt is positioned low over the pelvis to provide optimal protection.
Warning
Volvo recommends that repair or replacement of the integrated child seat is only performed by an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not make any modifications or additions to the child seat. If an integrated child seat has been subjected to a heavy load, e.g. in connection with a collision, then the seat cushion, seatbelt and backrest, or possibly the whole seat, must be replaced. Even if the child seat appears to be undamaged, it may not afford the same level of protection. This also applies if the seat cushion was in lowered position during a collision or similar. The seat cushion must also be replaced if it is heavily worn.
Warning
If the instructions for the integrated child seat are not followed then the child could sustain serious injury in the event of an accident.
