Volvo Car Group releases new edition of award-winning child safety manual
Volvo Car Group has released the third edition of the company’s book ‘Children & Cars – a Safety Manual’. The award-winning manual helps parents all over the world make sure that their children travel safely in the car.
Volvo Cars presented its first rear-facing child seat concept already back in 1967 – and the pioneering work to protect the youngest and most vulnerable occupants in the car has evolved ever since.
The target group for child safety information is growing continuously. Every minute, somewhere in the world, there are new parents putting their precious newborn child in the car for the first time.
The importance of spreading the good word has been acknowledged by customers and society over the years. Volvo Cars’ child safety manual has been awarded several prizes, including the Swedish Publishing Award in 2007.
Rear-facing position safest
Urging parents to have small children travelling in a rear-facing seat remains a core principle also in the latest edition of ‘Children & Cars – a Safety Manual’.
Integrated booster cushions
The forward-facing child should still use a child restraint system developed for its age. A belt-positioning booster accommodates these needs. This helps positioning the lap belt over the thighs, not against the child’s belly, in order to help provide safe travelling also for the child. Ingenious, integrated two-stage child booster cushions are available for several new Volvo models.
