Child seats

Rear side air bags are in the sedan also.
Never really thought of this as an issue however it is food for thought?!

I think the US market has a switch to turn off the front pasenger airbag, not sure if it does the side airbag also, as for the rear?

We have a 18mth old on the passenger side rear in a Safe-N-SOund Meridian AHR seat, we will be getting the same to place in the middle when bub no.2 arrives in October. All I can say is there is exactley the same amount of room inside as my Camry, however the doors open wider with a longer roofline which makes it easier to get bub in and out.

Back to the quston about the rear side airbags, not sure if they can be deactivated if that is what you are thinking, maybe ask VW Aust.

Keep us up to date.

Considering the size of most side airbags I don't believe it's going to be an issue especially with the capsule to provide the baby with extra protection. The capsule should sit further inboard that a full size adult, further minimizing any negative effect of a side airbag deployment.

Roger that. Our two y.o. twins have used both baby capsules and infant restraints in the back of our wagon and both have lots of clearance from the door - more than an adult sitting there.
