Re: Congratulations! Where to you position older kid's booster seats?
Your baby is beautiful!
I have one child, who is 6 years old and I keep his booster seat in the center, because on trips, he would no doubt fall asleep and lean over into the head airbag region.
(the 2002 A8 has curtain and head bags). The manual says children are not to lean into the head air bag region.
So, it would seem that shutting off the head bag and leaving the curtain airbag would be a solution for back seat children in booster seats. This is apparently not done.
Well anyways, any thoughts on booster seat positioning and the rear head airbag?

Congratulations!!! I fit 3 car seats in my 98. details inside...
10 month old in the center in a Britax Companion w/True Side Impact Protection.

4 year old on the right in a Britax Wizard w/True Side Impact Protection

6 year old on the left in a Britax Husky, the only seat with a 5 point harness good up to 80 lbs.

It's a snug fit, but they are all comfortable and inboard enough that they aren't in danger from the side airbags. Of course, the usual ride is in my wife's Town & Country, but whenever we go more than a few miles from home, it's everybody into the Audi!
