WARNING! Child Restraint Anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted Child Restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full
harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a Child
Restraint Anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur.
Child safety
Volvo recommends the proper use of restraint systems for all occupants including children. Remember
that, regardless of age and size, a child should always be properly restrained in a car.
Restraint systems for children are designed to be secured in the vehicle by lap belts or the lap portion of
a lap-shoulder belt. Such child restraint systems can help protect children in cars in the event of an
accident only if they are used properly. However, children could be endangered in a crash if the child
restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle.
Failure to follow the installation instructions for your child restraint can result in your child striking the
vehicle's interior in a sudden stop. Holding a child in your arms is NOT a suitable substitute for a child
restraint system. In an accident, a child held in a person's arms can be crushed between the vehicle's
interior and an unrestrained person. The child could also be injured by striking the interior, or by being
ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. The same can also happen if the infant or
child rides unrestrained on the seat. Other occupants should also be properly restrained to help reduce
the chance of injuries or increasing the injury of a child.
All states and provinces have legislation governing how and where children should be carried in car.
Find out the regulations existing in your state or province. Recent accident statistics have shown that
children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained.
