Booster seat (air bag off?)
I wanted. To make sure I can take my 5yr old to school. No back seat so as I understand CA allows him to ride shotgun. So, how does the airbag get shut off? Or is it weight triggered??
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

The passenger airbag switch is triggered by weight in the passenger seat. For a fail safe, to be absolutely sure the airbag won't trigger due to the weight of the child and car seat (if used) in an accident, there is a dealer installed switch that allows the airbag to be manually deactivated (at least there is for the Carreras). I don't believe that add-on is available if the car has sport buckets which, at least for now, isn't an issue.

The weight cut off for the sensor is about the 90 pound mark, IIRC.
