Rear airbag on 2010 Fiesta?

[Chimpanzee]

Hi all.

I've been putting my 5-week-old baby in an Isofix car seat on the left rear seat of my 2010 Fiesta. I know that if you put a car seat in the front you need to disable the passenger airbag but didn't think this was necessary if they're in the rear seat. However, last week I noticed there's a small "Airbag" tag on the back of the front passenger seat, in front of the rear passenger and it's got me worried.

Does the 2010 Fiesta have side-impact or rear airbags that I need to be concerned about?

Thanks.

Hi,

The isofix is the safest method for transport, the air bags in the seats are designed to spread in a horizontal formation for side impact that don't go towards the rear passengers atall,

And if you see "Airbag" written above the front seatbelts these are curtain airbags, there more of a cloth venetian blind than an air bag, because there a fabric curtain which drops down the side to prevent glass from coming at both front & rear passengers may be fitted to the fiesta as there in my 2010 focus.

Nothing to worry about and congratulations 👶🎉

Thanks Lenny. That's good to hear. I'm thoroughly reassured!
