Default Airbags and Child Restraints

I have just purchased a new VE SSV ute for work. (Don't ask, its not the issue). The questions I have is in relation to the 6 airbags in the front (dash, side and curtain). The car has a child restraint anchorage point and instructions in the owners manual on correct fitment of child booster seats.

It does specifically indicate not to use a rearward facing car seat infront of an airbag. I already knew this.

My dilema is, I have a 4 year old daughter in kindy, who loves it when I pick her up my ute. (previous was a BF II, only drivers airbag). She travels in a booster seat, with a safety harness and the seatbealt pinned downed so it only crosses her lap.

Is this safe with the airbags? The ute is solely a work car, and would only be used as a treat, but I would want to know if this is a safe situation just in case.

I have already spoken to Queensland Ambulance Service, Holden and the Depertment of Transport and have not been able to get a definite answer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
