Restraint
Yes, Florida has a primary seat belt law, which means that law enforcement officers can stop and ticket a driver solely for not wearing a seat belt. This law requires all front-seat passengers to wear seat belts, and while back-seat passengers aged 18 and older are not required to wear them, it is strongly encouraged for safety. Children under specific ages must be secured in appropriate child restraint systems.

We have a v40 and recently tried to buy a restraint that clipped directly into the buckle of the seatbelt. I was about to pay for the device when I noticed on the back the warning "not suitable for Volvo cars". Every other buckle restraint we checked had the same warning. Apparently Volvo in their wisdom have differing seat plugs on their seat belts.
