Passenger Airbag Weight Sensors?

Does anyone know what weight range the pass airbag shuts off? My 9 yr old nephew wants to go crusin in the Shelby, can he ride in the front?

Just stick him in the seat and turn the key, a light on your dash will tell you the AB is deactivated and then you'll know it's safe to take him for a spin. I let my middle boy, who's 8 sit there once and while and he triggers the sensor and the light on the dash but he's a skinny kid.

I think the weight required to activate the bag is 60lbs, any less and the bag will not deploy in a shunt.
