You can ask I have 2 young boys in car seats and asked the insurance about this so I could pick them up if needed.

I think the passenger air bag thing is if it is a baby seat back facing  :-\.

I have a scudo and 2 experts and the seats are not at the right angle for child seats , (the 2nd size after the baby seat) the seat belt does not run through the guide at top of the seat properly and so does not snap lock ,  - def would be dodgy in a crash situation - then you got to think about the fact that you have 1/2ton of water 60cm behind you :-\ :-\
