Integrated two-stage booster
cushion
1
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).
The booster cushions are designed to raise
the child higher, so that the shoulder strap
crosses over the child's collarbone, not over
the child's neck. 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 page 41). The shoulder belt must never
be placed behind the child's back or under
the arm.
Correct seating position: child's head is below
the head restraint and the shoulder belt is across
the collarbone
Incorrect seating position: the child's head is
above the head restraint and the shoulder belt is
not across the collarbone
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.
