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 40). 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 for according to the child's height and weight (see the table below) and is locked in position.

• That the seat belt is properly positioned and is taut.

• The shoulder section of the seat belt is across the child's collarbone, not over the neck.

• The lap section of the seat belt is across the child's hips and not the abdomen.
