2007 Volvo C70
All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where childr\
en should be carried in a car.
Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent acci\
dent statistics have shown that
children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating position\
s when properly restrained. A child
restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to l\
ook for when selecting a child
restraint system:
l It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor\
Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS 213) - or in Canada, CMVSS 213.
l Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height,\
weight and development - the
label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant\
restraints, typically provide this
information.
l In using any child restraint system, we urge you to carefully look over \
the instructions that are provided
with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device p\
roperly and safely in this vehicle.
A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for bo\
th the infant or child and other
occupants in the vehicle.
When a child has outgrown the child safety seat, you should use the rear\
seat with the standard seat belt
fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the ch\
ild on a cushion so that the seat belt
is properly located on the hips (see the illustration on
page 39). Legislation in your state or province may
mandate the use of a child seat or cushion in combination with the seat \
belt, depending on the child's age
and/or size. Please check local regulations.
A specially designed and tested booster cushion (not available in Canad\
a) can be obtained from your
Volvo retailer for children weighing 33 - 80 lb. (15 - 36 kg) and 38-5\
4 inches (97 - 137 cm) in height.
31 01 Safety
Child safety
WARNING
l Do not use child safety seats or child booster cushions/backrests in the\
front passenger's seat. We also
recommend that children under 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm) in height who h\
ave outgrown these devices sit
in the rear seat with the seat belt fastened.
l Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach\
. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should \
be taught not to play in
vehicles.
l On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise v\
ery quickly. Exposure to these
high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related\
injury or death. Small children
are particularly at risk.
