I hope those enormous modern seats are made that way for the sake of protection. Cause even with a bigger car, like Audi A6, two such seats consume all the space on the back bench
- okanat 3y ago> In the US you have an option to turn front passenger airbags off and place a baby seat there. In Europe there's no such option. What? This is totally false. Even friggin cheapo Dacias have that feature.
- at0mic22 3y agoMeh, probably I was thinking unlucky with my garage then
- dsego 3y ago> In Europe there's no such option. Yes, there is.
- at0mic22 3y agoOn the models designed for the US market - maybe. I have checked with 3 cars being produced specifically for Europe: Volvo, Audi and Toyota. While on the majority of videos and instructions there's a special off switch, on those cars it does not exist.
- p_l 3y agoPretty sure it's mandatory - I seem to recall a considerable educational campaign when they first arrived in Poland regarding passenger front side airbag and child car seats.

- tonyedgecombe 3y agoI think you are incorrect on this, certainly for Audi but probably Toyota and Volvo as well.
- petre 3y agoAll my European cars had that option including a 2005 diesel Suzuki Jimny and a 2013 Audi A1.
- barrkel 3y agoI live here and have rented vehicles across pretty much all brands and have never seen a car where the front passenger airbag can't be turned off. In fact there are ~identical regulatory stickers on the passenger sun shade warning that the passenger airbag needs to be turned off when a rear facing car seat is used in the passenger seat.
- Ringz 3y agoNo such option in Europe? This is mandatory at all European countries since the first passenger seat airbag.
