When is it necessary to deactivate the front passenger airbag regarding the transport of children in a restraint system?
Correct answer
- Unconditionally every time a child is transported in a child restraint system facing against the direction of travel (so-called egg/rear-facing car seat). In the case of restraint systems installed in the direction of travel, the airbag is not deactivated, but it is recommended to move the seat with the child car seat backwards away from the front airbag.
Other options
- If I have a protective handle on the child restraint system used facing against the direction of travel (on the so-called egg), it is not necessary to deactivate the front airbag because this part serves as a protective frame against the airbag impact.
- In the case of placing a child car seat on the front seat, this safety element always remains active.
Explanation
What the law says: The front passenger airbag must be deactivated when a rear-facing child restraint is fitted in that seat.
