ISOFIX1 and top tether attachment points can be used when installing a child restraint on the third-row seats.
Tip
- Only use child restraints that are recommended by Volvo, universally approved or are vehicle-specific approved where the vehicle is included in the manufacturer’s vehicle list.
- Child restraints that use support legs are not allowed on the third row.
- Any restraining straps for a child restraint should always be secured to designated attachment points. Do not secure restraining straps to seat rails, handles or other parts of the interior. There are no lower tether attachment points at floor level for the third-row seats.
- Remove cushion extenders, leg supports and other accessories from the seat before installing a child restraint. If you use a kick guard accessory, this can remain on the seat.
- When installing an adjustable, rearward-facing child restraint, adjust the child restraint according to the child’s age. Older children should be seated in a more upright position than younger ones.
- To make space in the third row, move the second-row seats forward. Fold the outer and center second-row seats to get access to the third row. Then install the child restraint while sitting next to it.
- Always leave the second-row backrests in their most upright position when there is a child restraint installed behind them.
- When installing a child restraint secured using the vehicle's seat belt, or when the vehicle's seat belt is used to secure a child, make sure that brackets or other parts of the restraint do not come into contact with the seat belt buckle release button.
- If you use the vehicle seat belt when installing a child restraint, you can set the seat belt to only retract. Read more about this in a separate section of the manual.
Warning
Follow the instructions

If you have installation questions, contact the manufacturer of the child restraint for more detailed instructions.
Protecting the vehicle interior
Be careful during installation to avoid damage to the vehicle interior caused by protruding parts or sharp edges of the child restraint.
- Fasten loose parts of child restraints, such as restraining straps, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Important
Raised headrest
The headrest must always be raised when a child restraint is installed.
General safety recommendations
When applicable, follow the general safety recommendations regarding seat belt use, headrest adjustment and proper seating. Make sure you read these sections of the manual before installing a child restraint.
Local regulations
Regulations on where and how children should be seated and secured differ between regions. Make sure that you know what applies to the region you are in.
Tip
Seat belt reminder
The seat belt reminder may appear for a seat if a child restraint has been installed without using the vehicle's seat belt. You can dismiss the reminder in the instrument panel, but other warning indicators will remain active. Buckle the seat belt to remove them.
