How do you disable passenger airbag on a vauxhall meriva?
Some vehicles have a switch to disable the passenger air-bag. Others have a system that can detect a suitable (transponder equipped) child-seat in the passenger seat, and deactivate the air-bag while the seat is fitted. Unless the vehicle has such a switch, or is equipped with such a system, it is not normally possible to disable the passenger air bag without also disabling all the air bags and seat-belt pre-tensioners. For this reason it is recommended that child seats be fitted in the rear, or that those with medical reasons that make an air bag "undesirable" are seated in the rear.
What is the legal age a child can be able to ride at the front seat of a car in NY?
Effective March 27, 2005: all back seat passengers who are age four or older but under age seven must be restrained in an appropriate child restraint system. A child older than four years of age and over four feet nine inches in height may be restrained by a safety belt. It is not illegal under NYS law for a child passenger to ride in the front seat of a vehicle that has a passenger air bag, but it is dangerous. Recent studies show that air bags can cause serious or fatal injuries to infants, children or small adults that sit in the passenger-side front seat. It is also normally safer for a child of any age to ride in the back seat of any vehicle. For the best child passenger protection in your vehicle: * Never put a child safety seat in the front seat of a vehicle and face it toward the rear of a vehicle if that vehicle has a passenger-side air bag. * Do not put small children in the front seat of vehicle that has an air bag. Put a child that does not use a safety seat and who is less than five ft. in height in the back seat. * If a child must ride in the front seat, make sure the car seat is installed as far back as possible. Fasten the child securely in the child safety seat or seat belt. An air bag that opens suddenly can cause a serious injury to your infant or young child. * Air bags, used with seat belts, provide the best protection for older children and adults during an accident. * Remember that the back seat is the safest location for children to ride.

First, ensure that the child seat is not in front of a working air bag. If installing in the passenger seat, disable the airbag. Otherwise, install as normal using either the LATCH system or the seatbelt.
Do both air bags go off in a crash if no one is sitting in the passenger seat?
In most newer cars, no. Older cars may not even have an airbag for the passenger. In most cars that do however, there is a weight sensor in the passenger seat that turns the airbag on only if there is someone heavy enough in the seat. This prevents the airbag from deploying if no one is in the seat and also prevents it from going off if there is a small child in the passenger seat.
How do you turn the passenger side airbag off in a 2010 Toyota Corolla?
According to the owner's manual, the passenger seat includes a detection system that takes into account how much weight is on the seat and if the seat belt is clicked. If the car determines there is no passenger in the seat, the air bag will not deploy during an accident (but there's no indicator light for that). If the car determines that there is a child in the seat the "airbag "off" indicator light should be illuminated and the air bag should not deploy during an accident. If the car determines the passenger is an adult, the air bag will deploy during an accident. I am trying to find out what are the specific conditions the car uses to distinguish between a child and an adult. No details on that in the manual. Hope that helps.
Is it legal to put a baby on the front seat of car?

The law states...It is illegal to carry a child in a rear-facing child seat in the front, which is protected by an active frontal airbag.There is no requirement for this with a forward facing car seat which can be placed in the passenger seat with an active airbag
When can you sit in the front seat in North Carolina?
If you consult the buckleupnc.org website, the recommendation is to keep your child in the back seat as long as possible. Children under 5 should always be in the backseat...but then it gets a little fuzzy. The recommendation is that children 1-12 should sit in rear seats whenever possible. My understanding is that once your child is age 12, they are usually tall enough to withstand the effect of an airbag deploying at 150-200 mph. FYI, over half the deaths caused by airbag deployment have been in children sitting in the front passenger seat.
