Car seats and cars!!

Firstly, if i put either a toddler seat (Maxi cosy tobi)or a booster seat in the front passanger seat, does the airbag need to be switched off?

Secondly, does anyone know a car that will fit 2 maxi cosy tobi's and a booster seat in the back?

I currently drive a landrover discovery, but am looking for a more normal size car!!

yes, the airbag should be off and the seat put back as far as possible i think

we fit 3 seats across the back of a volvo v70. 2 rear-facing group 1 seats, and one highback booster

The airbag should be switched off if at all possible, but if you can't switch it off then it's OK to have it on if it is a forward facing seat. The front seat should always be pushed back as far as possible though.
