The older one is sitting in the back on a special cushion with a strap that you put the belt in above the shoulder so there is no risk of strangulation.
I have seen some Mini´s with a child seat in the front seat, so there must be a possibility to disconnect or remove the whole airbag.
I suggest you double check with a Mini rep. to get information about all this.

Thanks Fredrick

Do you remember which model britax chair it is?

Thanks
