Default Passenger airbag sensor

I have an interesting issue with my new RS4. Neither my 105 lb wife or 65 and 95 pound children consistently "turn on" the front passenger airbag. Heavier individuals (unfortunately including yours truly) do activate the sensor. My dealer says there is no adjustment, and it is what it is... They suggest the passengers need to "sit differently". What is the experience of others with their RS4's? I would have Audi turn on the airbag for all passengers. For purposes of professional disclosure, I am a Forensic Pathologist and believe that airbags are wonderful life saving devices. Gary

Default Had the same issue w/my S4.

it was intermitent and the problem seems to have went away (or my wife got bigger, but we know that never happens
What's the weight that is supposed to activate the airbag?
