Featured Family Vehicle: VOLVO

From the very outset, Volvo Cars has been a brand for people who care about the world we live in and the people around us. We have made it our mission to make life easier, better and safer for everyone. From our invention of the 3-point safety belt in 1959, to our industry-first rearward facing child seats in 1972, safety has been at the core of everything we do. Today, many of our vehicles come with an integrated booster seat, allowing our youngest passengers to travel safely and comfortably on all their family adventures. We’re excited to be the presenting sponsor of this year’s Great Big Family Play Day LA, bringing the best and most exciting products to your family in a safe and fun environment!
