Securing a convertible seat with a seat belt
Do not place the convertible seat in the front pas- senger's seat.
Convertible seats can be used in either a for- ward or rearward-facing position, dependingon the age and size of the child.

WARNING
A small child's head represents a con- siderable part of its total weight and itsneck is still very weak. Volvo recom-mends that children up to age 4 travel,properly restrained, facing rearward. Inaddition, Volvo recommends that chil-dren should ride rearward facing, prop-erly restrained, as long as possible.
Convertible child seats should be instal-led in the rear seat only.
A rear-facing convertible seat should notbe positioned behind the driver's seatunless there is adequate space for safeinstallation.
