My understanding is exactly aligned with your thought: the mat simulator will simulate an adult so the air bag will deploy full power so I would def keep small people in the back seat if i used that fix.

That said; i destroyed my passenger seat with a brake fluid spill and was able to find a seat bottom for $50 mat included so I'd at least look into that. The problem of course being age of replacements.
