3 car seats in a ford focus...air bag question.

I can't fit a stage 0, 1 and 2 car seats across the back of my 07 ford focus estate so one of them is going to have to go in the front passenger seat.

Which is the safest option:
i) Stage 0 seat with airbag disabled (maxi cosi with isofix base)

ii) Stage 1 seat (for 2 year old) (Britax eclipse)

iii) Stage 2 High back Booster (for 3.5 year old) ? (Maxi cosi rodi)

Should I disable the airbag if I am using a stage 1 or 2 car seat in the front?

Also if anyone can recommend a combination of 3 seats that might fit across the back any suggestions will be gratefully received...have been to Halfords and had no luck!

multimac may have a seat which will let you fit 3 in the back, but they are not cheap

Thanks HSMM, have looked into them, but a bit $$!

Just an update in case anyone is in the same situation..

I went to the brilliant Essex In Car Safety Centre today, where they managed to fit 3 seats in the back of my ford focus:

On the rear driver side: Maxi Cosi Rodi SPS HBB

On the rear passenger side: Britax baby Safe Infant carrier

In the centre: Britax Eclipse SI

So it can be done safely!
