I have personally been in a car accident and been badly injured by the air bag. Air bags can suffocate children. They can also badly damage their face and area around the face.

Why???? You cannot manually turn the air bag off. It is illegal to do so without written permission from NHTSA. However the bag will be turned off or the intensity of the air bag will be lessened anytime a child under a certain weight is sitting in the seat. Want to turn it off, place a bag weighing around 10 lbs in the seat.
