As my wife is often taking our three grand children in her car three child seats are too wide to fit side by side in the rear.
Our eldest would be allowed in the passenger front seat on a booster seat if the air bag was deactivated.
Can any body provide a site or know manufactures who make it possible to turn off the passenger air bag without taking the car into the dealer. We remember her prevoius Fiat Punto had a switch in the car. As she is contemplating changing her car this feature would be a good advantage.

Might help if you mention the car she's contemplating changing to.

If you're after knowing what cars you can turn airbags on/off then providing there is a properly fitted child seat then you can turn the airbag off on the previous model Mazda6. But I think it "senses" the child seat being fitted somehow so must be ISOFIX or something similar??
