An airbag deployment system including a memory configured to store a default weight/pressure threshold value, a weight/pressure sensor configured for detecting a weight/pressure on a vehicle seat surface, a remote sensor for detecting a presence of a child restraint seat installed at a vehicle seat, wherein, the remote sensor can detect the presence or lack of presence of a child restraint seat on a vehicle seat with at least one focused detection zone, wherein the child restraint seat has different viewable features for the portion in the focused detection zone when compared to the vehicle seat and an occupant, wherein a compensation occurs to at least one of the weight/pressure threshold and the weight/pressure measured on the vehicle seat based on the detection or lack of detection of a child restraint seat.
