Car airbags

Having never had a posh car before I now have one with an airbag. Am just wondering if airbags should be switched off when you are pregnant.

Anyone know??

No, they should always be left on wherever possible, unless you have to have an infant car seat in the front - then the passenger airbag must be disabled. The air bag is mor elikely to hit your upper body than your tummy.

Move your seat back as far as you can is the present advice.
