1991 Volvo Coupe 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. Recent accident statistics have shown that children are safer in rear seating positions than front seating positions when properly restrained. A child restraint system can help protect a child in a vehicle. Here's what to look for when selecting a child restraint system: ● It should have a label certifying that it meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213) or in Canada, CMVSS 213. ● Make sure the child restraint system is approved for the child's height, weight and development - the label required by the standard or regulation, or instructions for infant restraints, typically provide this information. ● In using any child restraint system, we urge you to look carefully over the instructions that are provided with the restraint. Be sure you understand them and can use the device properly and safely in this vehicle. A misused child restraint system can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle. ● If your child restraint requires a top tether strap, consult your authorized Volvo dealer for top tether anchorage and installation information. When a child has outgrown the child safety seat (approximately age 4-5 years, depending on size) you should use the rear seat with the standard seat belt fastened. The best way to help protect the child here is to place the child on a cushion so that the seat/lap belt is properly located on the hips. A specially designed and tested safety cushion for this purpose can be obtained from your Volvo dealer. If necessary, an extra seat is available for use in the luggage compartment of station wagon models. This seat is designed for two children, each up to 88 lbs. and up to 53 inches in height. pg. 39 Child safety (cont.) file:///K|/ownersdocs/1991/1991_COUPE/91coupe_33.html (9 of 12)12/30/2006 9:00:42 AM
