940's 3rd row seats, legally considered 'booster seats'? 900

I'm with Gregg Shadduck. I'm not going to bet my child's life on a Volvo customer service rep's theory that the rear zone can withstand a 60 mph collision. I ain't no engineer, but I know that when my kids are sitting in that rear-facing 3rd seat, there's a little over one foot (30 cm) between their knees and the hatch. I don't care how well the car is designed, that distance -- or lack thereof -- stacks the odds horribly against the occupant.

When I hit the highway, passengers will be in the rear seat, the "way back" will hold my luggage/gear.

Just my 2 cents (Arguably worth that!)

Respectfully,

Jeff Pierce
