If you need to transport a child in a rear-facing car seat in the front passenger seat, you MUST:
* Use the rear seats. This is the safest option. Rear-facing car seats should *always* be placed in the back seat if possible.
* Consult your vehicle's owner's manual: It will have specific instructions and safety recommendations regarding child restraint systems and passenger airbag deployment. The manual may provide specific guidance for your E-150 model year.
Attempting to disable the airbag system yourself is extremely dangerous and could lead to serious injury or death in the event of a collision. Do not attempt to tamper with the airbag system.
If you have specific concerns about transporting children, consult a certified child passenger safety technician. They can help you properly install a child seat in your vehicle and address any safety concerns you may have.
