Top tether anchors
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchorages in the rear seat. They arelocated on the rear side of the backrests.
Child restraint anchorages
Securing a child seat1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the headrestraint and attach it to the anchor.
3. Attach lower tether straps to the lower ISOFIX/LATCH anchors. If the child restraint is not equipped with lower tetherstraps, or the restraint is used in the cen-ter seating position, follow instructions forsecuring a child restraint using the Auto-matic Locking Retractor seat belt (seeChild restraints (p. 47)).
4. Firmly tension all straps. Refer also to the child seat manufacturer'sinstructions for information on securing thechild seat.
NOTE
On models equipped with the optional cargo area cover, this cover should beremoved before a child seat is attached tothe child restraint anchors.
WARNING
•
Always refer to the recommendations made by the child restraint manufac-turer.
• Volvo recommends that the top tetheranchors be used when installing a for-ward-facing child restraint.
• Never route a top tether strap over thetop of the head restraint. The strapshould be routed beneath the headrestraint.
• Child restraint anchorages aredesigned to withstand only thoseloads imposed by correctly fitted childrestraints. Under no circumstances arethey to be used for adult seat belts orharnesses. The anchorages are notable to withstand excessive forces onthem in the event of collision if full har-ness seat belts or adult seat belts areinstalled to them. An adult who uses abelt anchored in a child restraintanchorage runs a great risk of suffer-ing severe injuries should a collisionoccur.
• Do not install rear speakers thatrequire the removal of the top tetheranchors or interfere with the properuse of the top tether strap.

Integrated booster cushion – general information
The booster cushions are designed to raise the child higher so that the shoulder strapcrosses over the child's collarbone, not overthe neck.
Integrated two-stage booster cushion 2Volvo's optional integrated booster cushionsare located in the outboard seating positions.These booster cushions have been speciallydesigned to help safeguard children in therear seat. They should be stowed (p. 60)(folded down into the seat cushion) when notin use. When using an integrated boostercushion (p. 59), the child must be securedwith the vehicle's three-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). If using a booster cushion does not result in proper positioning of the shoulder strap, thenthe child should be placed in a properlysecured child restraint (see (p. 47) ). Theshoulder belt must never be placed behindthe child's back or under the arm.
