Airbags and car seats questions - Ford Fiesta P Reg

2 replies

I'm starting a new nanny job in a few weeks time. They have specified that they want the passenger airbag switched off in the car which is not possible in the car my partner has (that I intended to drive). I have a Ford Fiesta P reg, how can I tell if it has a passenger airbag? And what car should I look at buying to accommodate this come Christmas when I'm due to get rid of my car?! I did plan on going on my DPs insurance and using that for work as he doesn't need it, but now am worried that this will not be possible!

What car does DP have? Is is a definite that he can't switch airbag off? In every car with passenger airbag I've had, there has been a raised airbag logo on the dashboard in front of the passenger seat

How many DC do the family have? Would one have to be in the front? And would they be in a front or rear facing seat?

I've just bought a 51 plate Peugeout 206, was pretty cheap with low mileage and the airbag can be switched on or off on the dashboard of the car, with the normal car key.

It's a vauxhall astra mark 4 apparently. We've been googling it and it seems that it cannot be done unless you buy a vauxhall seat. They have three DC, all in front facing I think, but I'll check with the family when I see them next week.

we've just realised that it may be very difficult to use my car too due to space and lack of doors, so we'll have to get rid of my car ASAP now which is a bloody palava.

thank you, I may go with a Peugeot, my last car was a 106 and was brilliant until the gear box went! Bloody automatics! Grin
