child car seat tether points / CALLING BILL NUGENT V70-XC70 1998

Dan:

The points I show in that pic are for FRONT facing seats for older children. Your new little baby MUST be in a rear facing seat. I do not know how a rear facing seat gets tethered, since my kids were past that when tethers became available. Please stop by a dealer and ask him to show you. I've been at the dealer twice when exactly the same question was asked and the service manager walked the fellow out to the used car lot and showed him how to fit the seat correctly.

I will say that the tethers make the seat feel infinitely more secure - you can make it really snug and tight.

I can say emphatically that the V70 was the best purchase my wife and I have made in a long time. She vehemently opposed a minivan or SUV and we looked at all of the wagons on the market. We happened to come across this one in an ad in a local paper and it was perfect. Had it checked out at a local independent volvo shop and bought it there on the spot.

My wife likes driving it, loves the tight turning circle, we feel the kids are safe, and it holds the double stroller and a lot of other stuff. I love the fact that it keeps up on the highway (does more than keep up, but only when I'm alone in the car).

Good luck.
