I guess the only thing I need to be concerned about is when my kid becomes a "person of adequate size" i.e. when he becomes big enough for what would have been the stock occupancy sensor to detect his presence and activate the airbags.

Does anyone know how big or a heavy a person needs to be for the airbags to activate in a stock seat setup? BMW's documentation doesn't give actual weight numbers... this concerns me a bit. Maybe someone out there has a child of a certain weight/height and can chime in on how their car's airbag detection works? For example, if you've driven your 12 year-old, do you notice the airbag deactivation symbol turning off?
