Volvo Child Safety Seats released

Kick guard with pockets: A very practical accessory designed to protect the car's interior while the child is sitting in the car seat, and incorporating pockets for storage. It is designed to be used if the child seat is facing forwards or backwards, and is machine washable. It is available for ISOFIX and non-ISOFIX child seats for £21.21.

Padded seat and head restraint cover: This is designed to cover and protect the upholstery on the integrated child booster seats fitted in the outer rear seats or rear centre armrest that Volvo offers on most models as part of an optional 'Family Pack'. It has built-in cushions on the side and head restraint to keep the child in place and better supported, is also machine washable, and costs £60.

Seat Belt Cushion and Backrest: The seat belt cushion and backrest is essentially the same as the padded seat and head restraint cover, but designed to be used for cars without Volvo's integrated booster seats. This includes a booster cushion and backrest with integral head restraint to support the child's head when sleeping. It has five different heights and two backrest angles, is fully crash tested, fits all cars with three-point seatbelts, and is machine washable. The cushion and backrest are available for £35.36 each.

Play board: The play board accessory fits to Volvo child seats (ISOFIX and non-ISOFIX) and creates a table for children to put toys or drinks on while sitting in the car seat. It costs around £20.

Sun shield: A sun shield is also available for the car seats, from around £17.

Mirror for child seat: This enables parents in the front seat to keep an eye on a child sitting in a rear-facing child seat via a practical mirror fitted on the rear seat. It can be easily removed if other rear passengers are travelling in the car, and costs £20.

These accessories are available from Volvo dealers, or some are also available to buy on-line
