Rob, both fuses control both air bags. You can remove one of the two
fuses and both air bags will still work as each fuse was designed as
backup for the other fuse. To disable your air bags, you must remove
both fuses... which then disables both airbags.

You can push their set back on the rails. I think the danger lessens if the
distance is over a foot from the bag to the child.

Personally, I would not disable the air bag as I would rather they suffer a
concussion than the alternative.

Airbags are designed for brain dead adults who refuse to use seatbelts,
nothing else.

They Kill small people even in fender benders. That has happened up
here recently.

Children are not supposed to be in the front seats anymore because of
this.

I don't know about a TJ, but the CJ passenger seat does not go back. I
am right on the dash of a TJ in the passenger seat and would likely get
both legs broken at least if the damn bag went off.

First off they are not air bags. They are sodium azide bags. If you
think sodium azide is safe try to buy some anyplace but in an airbag.

Secondly, law or no law, I take them out. I disconnect their firing
circuit, at least, and have gone as far as removing the pax side one
and replacing the steering wheel with a hokey aftermarket one to set
the standard one aside.
