Default Rear Facing Boot Seat for V70 2009

I'm looking for a rear facing, boot seat set up for my V70 09 plate. I'm not sure if these kits are a generic fit for all years? These seem to be rather hard to find so any help would be appreciated.

Certainly a 245 rear seat conversion wouldn't fit, having just compared mine out yesterday before sale to another 240 enthusiast. Wouldn't even fit that cars predecessor, a Volvo 145, as the floor panels are different.

I have the whole set up from a 2005 but you would have to check if it fits?

I would agree, since reading up on this boot seat, yesterday and in more depth, I have changed my mind. Not a great idea, from a affect aspect. It has been useful to get opinions on this and made me consider alternatives.

You reminded me of years ago when my dad had a 240GL with the rear facing boot seats and he went to the airport to collect a family of 6 with two children, what they had not told him was the two children were grown up....

I spent many happy hours in the boot, it was pretty comfy and you could err 'wave' at the drivers behind

Definitely not legal these days as not proper child seats
