I was going to say if you are based in Dublin try calling into Tony Kealys in Walkinstown and they might be able to give you some advice about the straps. You would probably need her with you.
A friend of mine who had twin boys used to have to tie one of them in with rope along with the normal straps. He regularly got out and started to beat up the quieter oneHe knew she was driving and couldn't pull over for a few mins at least to sort him out.
A big "no" to the car seat in the front once you have an airbag.
I'm not sure about other cars, but in mine (an Alfa 147), you can switch off the passenger seat airbag if you intend putting a baby seat in the front.
There's no evidence of an Alfa airbag going off once switched off with key. (Don't have one now, but drove the fab 156 when kids were small) To be fair they are one of few manufacturers who offer this system as standard. Why don't they all?
System doesn't just 'switch off a fuse', it cuts off sensors and power for detonator. But Mothercare's engineering institute may be more advanced in their knowledge then the car makers............'a spark' might set it off, oh deary me.
My young lad used to wriggle out of straps as well. Eventually called a Garda over one day who warned him not to get out of seat again. Worked a treat!
