WARNING!
l A small child's head represents a considerable part of its total weight \
and its neck is still very weak.
Volvo recommends that children up to age 4 travel, properly restrained, \
facing rearward. In addition,
Volvo recommends that children should ride rearward facing, properly res\
trained, as long as possible.
l Convertible child seats should be installed in the rear seat only.
l A rear-facing convertible seat should not be positioned behind the drive\
r's seat unless there is
adequate space for safe installation.

it is so equipped) to the top tether
anchorage point (see the information on
page 39) and secure the restraint with the vehicle's center seat
belt (see the information beginning on
page 31).
l Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, \
and use both ISOFIX lower
anchors and top tethers whenever possible.
WARNING!

tration above). If the attachment
is not correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secur\
ed in the event of a collision.
