Default Buying a 545: active head restraints and rear airbags

Does anyone have any information on the rear passenger airbag and active head
restraint options? I'd really like the rear airbags (unless they'd blow a kid's
head off if he was napping against the door), and I know nothing about the
active head restraint.

Thanks, Rick DeBay

I looked at cars at the dealer today.
The active head restraint is similar to what's on the Volvo. The head rest
moves forward in a rear collision to reduce head movement that could cause
whiplash.
The salesman advised against getting the rear airbags if children will be in the
back seat, as they're more likely to be injured and to lean against the door.
