Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe for my infant to ride alone in the rear seat?

Brockton Police Department - Child Seat Safety Frequently As...
Yes. In fact, in a car with two air bags, riding in the front seat could be deadly for your baby, even in a very low-speed crash. NEVER, EVER put a rear-facing baby in front of an air bag. The rear-facing baby's skull could be fractured as the air bag (not yet inflated) explodes from the dashboard at 200 miles per hour. In a car with no air bag in front, the back seat is still safer, since it is farther from the action in a frontal crash -which is the most common and most severe kind.

Does anyone know how safe the rear facing seat would be in the event of a rear collision?

Series FAQs
BTW, here are some Canadian prices. I don't believe we are receiving a stripped down version of the 850 (yet). They all seem to be fully equipped. My first thought was that it looks small. Not to say this is bad, but it is a compact looking package. They have changed the front end appearance in some subtle ways, which surprised me as this is only the second year of the model and Volvo's usually don't change like this for YEARS.

Does the Touareg have rear seat cup holders?

Volkswagen Touareg Frequently-Asked Questions
Some Touaregs come with cup holders for the rear seats, and some do not. At first, it seemed that only V8 Touaregs included these cup holders, but recent reports indicate that some V6 models do included them as well. Touareg owners who did not get the cup holders have reported that they have been able to obtain them and have a dealer install them. We suspect that there was a cost associated with this upgrade.

Q48: My rear-facing carseat is touching the back of the seat in front of it? Is that OK?

Child Carseat Safety FAQ
Please consult the owner's manual of your carseat. For most carseats, this is not a problem and may actually improve safety. At least one carseat, the Century Smart Move, does require the seat to be able to rotate freely toward the back of the vehicle in a crash.
