Thanks for all the comments guys,
Having looked at this logicaly (I think) the way forward is for me to make the 124 as safe as possible by fitting rear headrests and perhaps a pass air bag, other wise I will be forever chasing the "safest" car
Of course I may change my mind when I see how much it will cost!

i think you could fit a passenger bag into the car, with replacement of a few bits and bobs. However, is it worth it? you cant put the kids in the car with a pass bag.
i am in the process of replacing the pass. bag in mine with the glovebox so i can put the kids in the front. (sorry before anyone asks, no the bag wont be for sale as i may put it back in at some point)
if you must have a top-notch safe car then all you can do is trade the W124 for something else. The W124 is never going to be as safe as a new Mondeo or similar..... But to improve safety you'll ahve to spend A LOT more than what the W124 is worth to gain any major safety advancements as the W124 is a lot safer than most of the similar aged/priced vehicles.
