She should be ok

I believe you should be 10" minimum from the steering wheel, but 12" (as was posted here) is better. If I spread my hand, the distance from pinky tip to thumb tip is 9", so that's an easy way for me to judge the distance (albeit kind of anal, since I don't have airbags).
I haven't heard anything about seat height affecting airbag safety. Off hand, I don't think it'd make too much of a difference, if you're far enough away. You do want to keep your hands at 9:00 and 3:00 on the steering wheel or lower, though. Doing the "cool" (ahem) riceboy driving with one hand at 12:00 is not good with airbags.
