pg. 3:1 Occupant safety
Despite our strongest recommendations and your best intentions, not wearing a seat belt is like believing
"It'll never happen to me!". Volvo urges you and all adult occupants of your car to wear seat belts and
ensure that children are properly restrained, using an infant, car or booster seat determined by age,

Fact: In every state and province, some type of child-restraint legislation has been passed. Additionally,

mandate seat belt usage. The few seconds it takes to buckle up may one day allow you to say, "It's a
good thing I was wearing my seat belt".
