Saab won't do it, because they are convinced (as am I) that kids belong in back. It is illegal in the USA for anyone to disable an airbag, unless the proper legal steps are followed.
There are aftermarket companies that will install generic keyed disable switches (with an official legal disclaimed signed by you) but they will undoubtedly not look factory, and will probably get you in big trouble with Saab if you have an electrical warranty claim. Remember there are _two_ bags that need to be disabled - the dash bag and the seat bag.
Do what I do on the (very) rare occasion I need to carry four kids - put the tallest one in front, run the seat all the way back, make sure he sits up straight, and hope you don't have an accident ;(
Don't buy an SUV or mini-van! A Volve V70 T5 would be an excellent compromise.
Please read the info on the link below before acting - this is not as easy as it might seem, if you are in the USA.
