I have a 2005 xc70 and we have a child in a car seat - we're having a hard time finding a car seat that will work properly due to the tilted rear seat headrests. I've looked in the manual and they don't have instructions on removal - you can have them release forward when you put the seats down but that is the only option I can find. Without removing them so far we have not found a car seat that actually installs properly once forward facing without reclining.
