Volvo XC90: Safety / Top tether anchors
Your Volvo is equipped with child restraint top tether anchors for all seating
positions in the second row of seats. In vehicles with six seats, there is a child
restraint top tether anchor on the right-side seat in the third row of seats. They
are located on the rear side of the backrests.

Securing a child seat
- Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
- Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and attach it to the
anchor.
- Attach the strap for the lower tether anchors in the lower ISOFIX/LATCH
attachment points. If the child restraint is not equipped with straps for the
lower tether anchors, or if the child restraint is used on the center seating
position, follow the instructions for attaching a child restraint using the
automatic locking seat belt.
- Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing
the child seat.
NOTE
If the vehicle is equipped with a cargo compartment cover, this must be
removed before a child seat can be attached in the tether anchors.
WARNING
- Always refer to the recommendations made by the child restraint manufacturer.
- Volvo recommends that the top tether anchors be used when installing
a forward-facing child restraint.
- Never route a top tether strap over the top of the head restraint.
The strap should be routed beneath the head restraint.
- 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.
- Do not install rear speakers that require the removal of the top tether
anchors or interfere with the proper use of the top tether strap.
Suitable child restraints should always be used when children (depending on their
age/size) are seated in the vehicle.
