Child seat mounting

It is important to remember a number of things when a child seat is mounted and used, which depend on where the child seat is positioned.

 Warning

Booster cushions/child seats with steel braces or some other design that could rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening button must not be used, as they could cause the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.

Do not secure the straps for the child seat into the seat's horizontal adjustment bar or in springs, rails or beams under the seat. Sharp edges may damage the straps.

Do not allow the upper section of the child seat to rest against the windscreen.

 Note

When using child safety equipment, it is important to read the installation instructions included.

In the event of questions when fitting child safety equipment, contact the manufacturer for clearer instructions.

 Note

Never leave a child seat loose in the car. Always secure it according to the instructions for the child seat, even when it is not in use.

Installation in the front seat

  • When fitting rear-facing child seats, check that the passenger airbag is deactivated.
  • When fitting front-facing child seats, check that the passenger airbag is activated.
  • Only use child seats that are recommended by Volvo, are universally approved or are semi-universal, and where the car is included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.
  • ISOFIX child seats can only be fitted when the car is equipped with the ISOFIX console1 accessory.
  • If the child seat is equipped with lower straps, Volvo recommends that the lower mounting points are used with these1.
  • The ISOFIX guide can be used in order to facilitate child seat installation.

Installation in the rear seat

 Warning

Child seats with support legs must not be mounted in the centre seat, risk of danger.
  • Only use child seats that are recommended by Volvo, are universally approved or are semi-universal, and where the car is included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.
  • The outer seats are equipped with the ISOFIX fixture system and are approved for i-Size2.
  • The outer seats are equipped with upper mounting points. Volvo recommends that child seat's upper straps should be pulled through the hole in the head restraint before being tensioned at the mounting point. If this is not possible, follow the recommendations from the child seat manufacturer.
  • If the child seat is equipped with lower straps, never adjust the position of the seat in front after the straps have been fitted in the lower mounting points. Always remember to remove the lower straps when the child seat is not installed.
