<\/a><\/p>\nThe Excellence Child Seat Concept, which also provides a function to help small children safely lean back and sleep, is based on Volvo\u2019s clear safety position; that small children should travel rearward facing as long as possible (at least up to the age of 3 or 4). This is primarily due to the lack of muscular strength in the necks of small children and the disproportionate head size and weight* in relation to the body.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us the safety, convenience, and emotional factors outweigh everything else. Being able to maintain eye contact with your child from the rear seat , or being able to keep a bottle warm in the heated cup holders in the XC90 Excellence, would go a long way towards making life easier for parents taking their small child on a trip. Such alternative seating arrangements will become increasingly important as we move towards autonomous vehicles,\u201d added Tisha Johnson.<\/p>\n
The Excellence Child Seat Concept is a clear example of how Volvo Cars\u2019 Design Team is meeting the challenge of adding a luxury touch to the Swedish car maker\u2019s portfolio.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been investigating the nature of progressive luxury for some time and we see a direct connection between luxury and emotional wellbeing. So we have taken the next step in redefining how the interior of a car can be used to suit our customers\u2019 needs. We have always placed a great deal of importance on child safety, but this takes things to the next level,\u201d concluded Tisha Johnson.<\/p>\n
