Volvo V70 rear facing seats

Weaver · Feb 1st, 2015, 18:51

Hello all,

I am looking to purchase rear facing seats in my Volvo, so that I can use it as a seven seater from time to time.

Has anyone got any advice on how I would go about this?

I have searched online and information regarding a seven seater conversion is scarce.

There is (date of this post) as of now I my one vague ebay listing regarding ret facing seats. Very little info other wise.

I wa hoping someone would be so kind and give me a bit more information?

Rally appreciate any sensible reply.

What age is your car?

There is no rear 7 seat , for the present V70 or XC70 . Volvo said that the rear facing seats did not meet the latest safety regs.

It's a v70 2008.

Thanks for your helpful replies.

Much appreciated.

Wish Volvo would bring back the third row seat option. Or make an economical family car.

You've not missed much. They were horrible (I had one). Only suitable for small children. Safety belt mounting got in the way of everything and the kids had to sit with their legs flat.

There were very few fitted / sold. Mine was probably intended for a dealer demonstrator - but ended up as a lease car.
