Advice re: use of car seat in third row, etc. V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Cape Islander on  Mon Feb 9 08:59 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a 98 V70 and like you, three Kids. The car seat in the third seat is a NO NO says Volvo. Major safety issue. Minumum weight is 55lbs to sit in rear and max 90lbs. My saving grace is I have one in that weight class.

Having gone the Volvo route with three kids and the third seat, I should have bought the Honda Minivan. Don't get me wrong, I love my V70. It just isn't that practical with 3 kids. Even with one out of a car seat, the third seat removes all your luggage space when in use. Long trips become a problem. My solution is a Thule ski box, but when that long trip is a ski trip it is a problem again. I have taken to borrowing my business partner's toyota van for a week each March when we go sking. Check out the Honda
