Integrated booster cushion – general information

Updated 2023-06-08

The booster cushions are designed to raise the child higher so that the shoulder strap crosses over the child's collarbone, not over the neck.

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.

Use these booster cushions only with children whose weight is between:

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, 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.

Warning

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur

Follow all instructions on the booster cushion 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 (Integrated booster cushion – general information).
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.
