Can someone tell me if the rear headrests are removable. I just installed tether anchors for the child seats but cant get enough slack out of the strap. Seems like the headrests are in the way. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks..

There can be 2 problems with adjusting tether straps in the 740 /940's with rear headrests.

1 - for some seats the minimum length of the strap is too long
(this has nothing to do with the headrest)

2 - the adjusting buckle ends up under the headrest

For 1 there is no easy solution (4ry seat in car befor you buy if possible)

For 2 I have found that it is possible to slip the strap and buckle between the top of the seatback and headrest. Pre-adjust the strap, thread between seatback / headrest, then connect to anchor (the least step requires some extra force to compress the seatback).

I havedone this with both single and duel teather straps.

Whatever you do, don't:

- knot the strap,
- leave it slack,
- route it over or around the headrest.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
Since there is no easy or efficient way of removing the headrests we simply pre-adjusted the tether straps as tight as we could (until no slack)and slipped the straps btwn the headrest and top of the seatback. After that we strapped on the seatbelts. Seems to have worked out pretty good. We'll be moving the child seats from one car to another often, it seems like a real pain to have to keep removing the seats, and headrests everytime.
Seems odd to us that Volvo didn't include (ALR)automatic locking retractor seatbelts. Our other car has them and installing the car seats is a snap and takes just a couple of minutes as opposed to 15-20 to get everything right on the Volvo.

Not sure about 95 and later, but 92-94 rear headrests are bolted to the body behind the seatback. You must remove the seat to access the bolts.
