Integrated two-stage booster cushion 1
Volvo's optional integrated booster cushions are located in the outboard seating positions.These booster cushions have been speciallydesigned to help safeguard children in therear seat. They should be stowed (foldeddown into the seat cushion) when not in use.When using an integrated booster cushion,the child must be secured with the vehicle'sthree-point seat belt.
Use these booster cushions only with children whose weight isbetween: • Stage 1: 48 – 80 lbs (22 – 36 kg)
• Stage 2: 33 – 55 lbs (15 – 25 kg)
and whose height is between:• Stage 1: 45 – 55 in. (115 – 140 cm)
• Stage 2: 37 – 47 in. (95 – 120 cm)
In Canada, Transport Canada's weight recommendation is 40 – 80 lbs (18 – 36 kg). The booster cushions are designed to raise the child higher, so that the shoulder strapcrosses over the child's collarbone, not overthe child's neck. If using a booster cushiondoes not result in proper positioning of theshoulder strap, then the child should beplaced in a properly secured child restraint(see page 40). The shoulder belt must neverbe placed behind the child's back or underthe arm.
