Neo M Tech - post your location as it varies with Country.

eg; in the UK you cannot get the airbag 'switch off'.

Why do they not allow you to turn it off? I often drive with the boy in the car but he has to sit in the back as teh airbag cannot be switched off? (The recommendation is to not put children in the front on a booster seat with an airbag...)

Must be a UK thing. In Sweden we can get the On/Off function of the airbag by a key and we are members of EU since some years.
