Andrea, Honda will not allow their airbags to be switchable.

The reason given for this is the fact that they are so popular in America, and if the airbags was switched off, and somone was injured as a result, Honda would be at risk of litigous actions.

The second reason Honda have given is that if you do have a child in the front seat, and the switch isn't working (e.g. set to off, but the airbag still deploys) it could be disastrous to an infant in the front.
