My situation is that I am moving to a house 2 km away from my present dewling and the road between these two houses has a speed limit of 30kmh. I would like to drop the rear seats down to carry some stuff to the new place over the next month. I may not be able to always get someone to watch my child during these random times. Thefore, I will make an exception and put the baby seat on the front seat if the side-impact airbag will not potentionaly harm my child or if it can be disarmed for the duration of my move. From google I can only find "warnings" about passanger-side front airbags not side impact airbags. Many newer cars have side-impact airbags on the rear seats, should these be disarmed before carrying a child on the rear seat?
