Integrated booster cushion – general information
Integrated two-stage booster cushion1
Volvo's optional integrated booster cushions are located in the outboard seating positions. These booster cushions have been specially designed to help safeguard children in the rear seat. They should be stowed (folded down into the seat cushion) when not in use. When using an integrated booster cushion, the child must be secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt.
If using a booster cushion does not result in proper positioning of the shoulder strap, then the child should be placed in a properly secured child restraint (see Child restraints). The shoulder belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.
Before driving, check that:
- The integrated two-stage booster cushion is set in the correct position according to the child's height and weight (see the table below) and is locked in position.
- That the seat belt is properly positioned and is taut.
- The shoulder section of the seat belt is across the child's collarbone, not over the neck.
- The lap section of the seat belt is across the child's hips and not the abdomen.
- The head restraint is set to same height as the child’s head so that, if possible, the entire back of the child's head is covered.

18 kg (40 lbs) is the minimum weight requirement for a child using booster seats according to the Canadian regulation CMVSS 213.4.
Warning
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur
- Follow all instructions on this child restraint and in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
- Make sure the booster cushion is securely locked before the child is seated.
- Use this booster cushion only with children whose height and weight are within the permitted limits shown in the table.
- Use only the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt system when restraining the child in this booster seat.
- In the event of a collision while the integrated booster cushion was occupied, the entire booster cushion and seat belt must be replaced. The booster cushion should also be replaced if it is badly worn or damaged in any way. This work should be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician only.
