Which child seat to use in the front of a Vauxhall Vectra - can we switch off the airbag?

We have new twins and need to get all 3 of our children into our 2001 Vauxhall Vectra. But we cannot get three seats across the back seat. Our older boy (2) will need to go in the front but we can't switch off the airbag - does anyone know how to do this? Vauxhall make a seat with a transponder to switch off the airbag but it only works with newer models. Any other suggestions very welcome - I can't afford a new car!|||i has a similar problem and contacted my local vauxhall dealer where the car came from and i was told they cant disable the airbag for safety reasons three other dealerships told me that as well i would keep looking or try google with your question good luck|||You will have to ask dealer or get a wiring diagram for the airbags, there will be a fuse or pig tail you can remove/unplug behind a trim panel by the air bag. You can also slide the seat as far back as possible, should be a far enough distance from bag deployment.|||My ciroen has a switch you turn|||Halfords or Toysrus should help you with fitting the car seat.


You should not really buy a car seat without someone shows you how to fit it properly.


Plus i'm not sure but if he's in a forward facing car seat i don't think that the air bag needs to be turned off.Halfords or Toysrus or indeed anyone selling car seats should be able to confirm this.|||Try going to halfords they can be very helpful when it comes to car seats, i had the same probs when i had a vectra so i saved up and traded in for a zafira.
