Default Disabling passenger airbag

Since the Impreza does not appear to have a passenger kill switch, what are you supposed to do with a rear facing child seat in the front?

Is it possible to remove a fuse for example and render the airbag defunct?

Short of actually removing the entire unit and dropping it from the top floor of a multi-storey building (in the interests of scientific experiment of course!) I don't think it can be deactivated.....

Maybe after the next time I plant my scoob in a hedge I wont bother to get the airbag reset!

Got a great photo, not sure how to post it though.

Thanks for the link.

If I have done it properly here they are.
I had spent all weekend polishing it too!
I do not appear anywhere in the photos, they are just amused by-standers.

I think it can be done, spoke to an auto spark about this previously. IIRC it involves disconnecting the seatbelt tensioner connection under the passenger seat then placing a resistor across the terminals to simulate the airbag still being connected.
