I saw some posts yesterday about side impact airbags that got me thinking. I have a 2007 Mercedes R350 that has side impact airbags and window airbags. DS is in a Britax Boulevard in second row of seats (as it has 3 rows of seats.) His seat is installed behind the passenger seat. It seems as though the seats on this car are set in just a bit more than in a regular car as there's only two seats/row. I read the manual today and it says that there is a slightly higher risk of injury to him with the airbags there and if I want to I can have them disabled if I sign a waiver. What would you do? I know the ML-Class scored 5 stars for side impact protection and this car is built on the same platform... though I believe that car also had side impact airbags. Would you get the airbags disabled? The manual says that having him restrained properly in an appropriate restraint will minimize the danger of the airbags.
